“"I am often drawn to the old, marred, scarred, imperfect and obsolete things in life, feeling the need to show a side of them that is beautiful- giving them a voice. I invite the viewer to experience the qualities in them that I find appealing and to seek the beauty in the sometimes overlooked and often discarded items of a past life. These objects often speak of a different time and a simpler life, one which is missed in the faster moving, disposable world of today."
