I collect old photographs. I feel like a time traveler, sifting through visual memories, the weight of personal histories captured in flimsy images. I see my work as similar to that of a dj. I am a visual sampler; searching through piles of images to find those that resonate, altering and presenting them to the world in a new form. Though impermanence is an unavoidable reality, I feel moved by the fleeting moments caught on film.


I am available to do commissions, making unique paintings from your photos.
