STATEMENT

I make collage for love of the art form and for the enjoyment of collecting beautiful and striking images. For me, collage provides a sanctuary within creative space – with freedom to explore color, texture, and composition in an intuitive way. I appreciate the playful revelation of visual combinations that appear by happenstance and reaffirm my inner imagery. My “dreamscape” collages touch on themes of magical realism, the subjectivity of time, inner and outer worlds, and the interconnection of all things. Additionally, I hope to express the perfection of nature, and the awe and wonder that it can invoke.
