STATEMENT

My analog collages are influenced by intuition, my connection to the natural world, and by a desire to participate in the transformative experience of creating something that didn’t exist before. I find the collage process to be a beneficial sensory exercise in self-expression and in rewiring my brain as I learn to embrace the chaos of the world. I love the harmony that can be achieved by combining and arranging photographs, cyanotype, drawings, paintings, and words.
