My artworks are an exploration of nostalgia—fragments of memory suspended in time. Through the slow, meditative process of pulling light from darkness, I look to capture fleeting moments that may otherwise go unnoticed and unappreciated. Living with chronic illness has reshaped the way I see the world, deepening my appreciation for these quiet, everyday moments. Mezzotint, with its rich blacks and delicate highlights, mirrors the way memories exist—soft around the edges, yet deeply felt. Each piece invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and find beauty in the stillness of a single captured moment.
