Artist Statement:

Collage is my passion. This genre engages me with the challenge of integrating my paintings , drawings, photographs, and monotypes- mediums that I love. I begin my work with a subject in mind, one inspired by themes of nature or themes of personal experiences. Next, I select a medium, whichever captivates my interest that day. My initial feeling is one of complete exhilaration with the freedom to express myself, knowing that each piece has the potential of becoming a larger piece that I haven’t yet envisioned. It’s exciting to imagine the possibilities of what the day’s work might become with each piece having an extended life or rebirth in a future collage. Finally, in the last stages of my process, I attempt to select and position the various artistic elements to energize each other in a unified work of art.
