I use photography to capture specific moments in my memory, however I am drawn to images that can convey a snapshot of anyone’s memory; a boat tied to a dock may remind me of an afternoon in Madrid, but to someone else it is the boat they built with their grandfather as a child. As time passes, our treasured memories begin to lose details, which often become replaced by a more idealized version of the story. It is this version that I am trying to convey. My hope is that my mixed media paintings remind the viewer of a simpler time in their own idealized memories.
