About

Captivated by nostalgia, my work is a personal interpretation of the natural world through the uncritical, sentimental, and affectionate lens of the past. Researching a subject’s original era, studying bygone references, and imagining how something might have been perceived at the time it was created is of great interest to me.

I think nostalgia holds and imparts an instant connection with other people. I enjoy making connections with my audience in this way.

For me, creativity involves sifting through memory and sharing the stories unearthed. The process is then enriched with the reminiscences sparked by other people. Nostalgia is this fascinating prism through which to explore the complex personal and cultural narratives that are both mine and yours.
