I create artworks that celebrate incidental moments and the poetics of happenstance. Through painting, I use the language of collage and tricks of trompe l'oeil to translate one-to-one renderings of ephemeral photo scraps. I am inspired by specimen charts, elementary coloring books, and the history of scrapbooking. The surface of the artwork becomes a repository of intimately sized pictorial fragments puzzled together in search of new meaning. Small pools of color dot the margins, a trace of the process and discovery through the slow translation of painting.
