Artist Statement
I am aware of a hurting world where tragedy strikes daily. I can best articulate my response to these tragedies and my understanding of hope through finding colors and details with the camera. So, when a typically beige building displays a piece of street art, a scrap of ribbon lies on the sidewalk, or the grass presents a newly fallen treasure, I notice. When I recognize these aspects of life that are easily missed, I find a hope that I address in my art. Particularly through photography, I present images as a challenge for viewers to ponder their own hopes and to become more aware of their world. I remember being repulsed by the idea of always carrying my camera because I felt like in doing so, I would be stepping out of life rather than enjoying it fully. But since doing so, I have learned to see better. In this piece, I present these photographic explorations of hope. I call for others to see beauty in the ordinary and desire for this to spur them to change their world.

- i am an artist striving to recover hope and beauty through photography, growing food, bartering, biking, living closely with community and as simply as i can.
side note to the online viewer:
the images that are taped around the world are fakes. i create polaroid looking images by assembling a printed image and white frame. this dimension brings me deeper into the project, making a greater connection to the work and those who find the polaroid. (admittedly, it did begin because polaroid film is so expensive. but ive chosen to continue it in this way. they are my hand made gifts to the world.)
