STATEMENT

Death and rebirth, strength and vulnerability, angst and ease. My art tells tales of contradictions, of life as a constant motion of coming together and falling apart in an often comical world of opposites. I am inspired by beauty, ugliness, solitude, chaos, travel, color, order, changeability, moments of fleeting magic and giving a second life to forgotten things. I am a mixed media artist who combines drawings, paintings and photography in collage. I use oils, acrylics, watercolor, vintage paper and posters, glue and scissors on paper and canvas.
