what remains

The series is about Americas Great Plains and what is left behind by the people who once lived there and now have been gone. I photographed old abandoned cars and building and give them a new life through my art. The photograph is combined with old papers and unique ephemera. After mounting these materials to a wood panel, I apply wax in multiple layers and treat the surface with oil paint to create a certain look and texture. I often add three dimensional objects to round up the story.
