ARTIST STATEMENT   

What triggers memory? A song, a phrase, a familiar face; these are the things that I use in order for the viewer to be part of the work. Working with layers of collage and paint, I obscure,
highlight and bring forth a moment from the past. Yet each piece is a vision of present through the lens of the past.
