“One of the conditions of being human is, even if we're surrounded by others, we essentially live our lives alone. Real life takes place inside us.” – Paul Auster

I like to think that my work is, in its own way, a unique tribute to my home city. At 25, I am following my dream by creating found object assemblages. I find my inspiration on the streets of Manchester, NH. My grandmother’s passion for painting sparked my own creative process. I learned to love a different palette; a palette filled with rusty metals, peeling paints, and battered wood. I like to take things out of their element and give them new life. Every viewer has their own take on these everyday found objects. Everyone can find a piece of themselves in the weathered railroad spikes in “Dr. Pro Bono” or my grandfather’s old saws in “Self Destruction”. I feel that each of my pieces deserves more than just a passing glance. They command an audience.
