Artist’s Statement

My images start with the world around me, with tangible objects and ordinary places that I know well. I focus on the transformative power of air, light, and atmosphere and how they change the most unprepossessing objects into something else entirely. Familiarity breeds fascination, the antithesis of contempt.
