Found Houses began in 2015 and continues today as I explore abandoned or forgotten homes that shine in their imperfections. While some might find these images sweet, they are an homage to a lifelong battle I have with what is considered beautiful, attractive, and worthy of display.
They have become the subject of portraiture and offer a mirror into my own distorted feelings of self-worth and self-image. They speak to nostalgia while exploring disconnection, emptiness, and darkness. I experiment with mark making, media combinations (including salt, string, and gel medium), and layering to add to the complexity and history behind each image.
Originals may be purchased with or without frames. Email or contact the artist for details on purchasing an original or print.
