Loss is the heart of my work; specifically the transience of childhood and how memories of that short period shape the rest of our lives. When my son was born, I felt driven to document and preserve his life in photographs but I gradually realised he was more a mirror than a subject and I was actually restaging episodes and conjuring feelings from my own childhood rather than immortalizing him as I’d intended. And maybe all photography works with way. Perhaps we are sutured into every snapshot we take and every work of art is a self-portrait regardless of what the subject appears to be. |

| Education and biography | |
| Raised in America, I've lived in London for almost 20 years. Originally only intending to stop over on the way back to America from Italy, I never returned home to Boston and now reside here permanently. Although I enjoy exhibiting in galleries, the widest and most satisfying exposure thus far has been as cover artist for countless book jackets --now strewn across the world fading and forgotten on tidy bookshelves, abandoned in hotel rooms, left in forlorn baskets outside charity shops or slowly decomposing under tons of landfill. |

| Starting with a Photograph An exhibition of Saatchi Online Artists at Michael Hoppen Contemporary 10th September – 12th October 2009 Michael Hoppen Contemporary is delighted to collaborate with Saatchi Online for an exhibition of work by six artists, hand-picked from the Saatchi Gallery website. Entitled ‘Starting with a Photograph’, the key criterion is that the work must begin with a photographic image- found or made. Beyond that, each piece is unique,sharing only an interest in exploring and expanding the limits of photography. The exhibition will take place at Michael Hoppen Contemporary, situated close to the new Saatchi headquarters on the King's Road in Chelsea, and will begin on the 10th September. |
