Artist Statement

History is seen every day.  These objects are such a major part of our society but usually go unnoticed.  They all, at one point in time, had a great significance on lives. I try to enhance these objects and make them seen again.  These historical elements visually interest me in two ways:  what the world once was and the uniqueness it has achieved over time.  To enhance their importance, I show details of them with intensified color.  I try to bring out the uniqueness in each object. I hope that through my paintings, people will be able to see a world that they usually pass by, a world that exists and is incredibly interesting; that whomever really looks at my painting, may never see the world in the same way again.
