ARTIST STATEMENT

I take photographs of people and places that present curious aspects of work, play, and prayer. I also enjoy mannequins, Catholic iconography, signs, and decay.

In addition to photography and mixed media exhibits, I currently maintain a public art environment in Wicker Park, Chicago.
