STATEMENT

My approach is simple and direct. I generally apply a layer or two of acrylic paint to paper or canvas, then add pieces of torn collage, one at a time, from my bin of gathered materials. I tend to work quickly, without planning, until a piece achieves the kind of movement and balance that I like.
