"My photographic designs and wall coverings function as a screen on which the viewer may project and imprint his or her own ideas. I’m drawn to architectural motifs and urban landscapes that invite in nature to create warmth and history while leaving behind a personal imprint. The images work in tandem with the surface or objects that they cover—ceramics, glassware, furniture and textiles for now—but it’s the possibilities of the materials that lead me in new creative directions.

"I am interested in pushing the boundaries of photography and challenging perceptions. The images I make not only explore my outer experience and vision of the world but also they express my personal history, emotions and beliefs. Every moment of my daily experience is full of brief encounters with multiple realities; the personal, social and cultural artifacts of our individual and collective lives are all a part of my obsession with creating images that question notions of beauty, decay and desire. Throughout my divergent bodies of work, there is often a sense of timelessness, of a frozen moment within a world of high-speed image saturation, no more nor less meaningful than any other, but also no less full of wonder, complexity, and nuance." — S.
