STATEMENT

Most of my collage pieces start with one of my photographs, and then I embellish it with vintage papers and images from old books and magazines. I then finish the collage pieces with the addition of acrylic media and paint.

I have a lifetime of my own images (mostly on black and white film): literally thousands and thousands from most of America and the five continents I’ve visited with my camera. Also, I am a collector of vintage Life magazines and various women’s magazines. I have always been interested in the evolution of women’s role in society and environmental issues.
