STATEMENT

Collage is the medium through which I’ve found my voice as an artist. It provides an avenue for responding to world events as I transform newsprint imagery and mixed media into art. I strive to make each collage painterly in appearance, luring viewers with its beauty before confronting them with intimate and sometimes painful detail. These are the stories of strangers made personal through my retelling. I want the viewer to find his or her place in the narrative as I attempt to offer an antidote to the news of the day in addition to commentary on it.
