I've always been a treasure hunter. I'm drawn to beautiful bits of broken - artifacts in various states of disrepair and decomposition. The colors you see in my assemblages were contrived lifetimes before me. Fragments of vintage toys, timeworn furniture, ancient tools...countless well-loved objects. I get lost in their imagined stories. And found.

Delicious, salvaged color - nails/screws/tacks that I've harvested from various artifacts, in order to utilize in just the right project.

Recombined vintage colors that no longer exist in this permutation, as I'm a necessary and eternal editor.
