A Past Beyond Memory

Artist statement:

Every memory and dream we have is ultimately obscured. We try to keep special moments alive but every day we lose a minor detail. Slowly we forget the time and place, the feelings, and thoughts we had. These paintings are merely an attempt to capture those fleeting moments visually with watercolor. This idea of holding onto something that can't truly be detained is what inspires these paintings.
