STATEMENT

My analog collages are influenced by people and big emotions and nature. Creating is how I make sense of the world around me. I find the collage process to be a beneficial exercise in rewiring my brain as I learn to embrace imperfections. I love the completeness and sensory experience that can be achieved by bringing together and arranging photographs, cyanotype, drawings, paintings, and words. The organized chaos is beautiful to me.
