Artist Statement

For some, hands are just there.  They do everything for us but we take them for granted.  They work hard for us everyday.  If we have an itch they scratch it.  We use our hands to complete every menial task over the course of our entire lives and as we get older they show the hard work they’ve accomplished…show signs of what we have done in our life. 

I have a collection of interesting people I’ve met along my path and have become friends with all of them.  Their stories are my inspiration for who you see in my artwork.  The picture you imagine in your mind of who this person is and was to themselves and their families is completely up to the viewer. I like to inspire contemplation of older folks and I want my photographs to tell the story of this person’s life and wisdom and how hard their hands have worked to get to this point in their life, this moment in time.

Our hands display the traits of the person we’ve become.  They tell “our” story,  your story.  Your hands, your Hands of Time.
