3×3in, gold trimmed Holbein watercolor board, watercolor collage, vintage stamps, 2026

I save things—drawings, scraps, mementos, fragments of ideas—because they hold the quiet history of my creative life. What looks insignificant to others becomes a map of where my mind has wandered, what I’ve noticed, and who I’ve been along the way. These saved pieces shape my art practice; they remind me that nothing is wasted, that every sketch and scrap carries a thread worth returning to. My work grows from these accumulations of memory and material, transforming what I’ve kept into something new, honest, and alive.
