STATEMENT

I tend to gravitate towards older magazines for my work and typically produce a more narrative image than an abstract one. Other materials include found postcards and images as well as more occasionally, paints and other media. I have experimented with digital collage, primarily using old family photos, to create semi-surrealist images and find that these lend themselves to more open-ended narratives. I like using a sense of humor and irony in my composition, even if the story itself is more melancholic, or scary, for example.
