STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art is my love language. It’s how I communicate with the world and make sense of my life. I make work about my experiences, observations and feelings. Everything from the most mundane to the most magical gets incorporated somehow, but I often feel particularly inspired by odd juxtapositions, moments of wonder, natural beauty, meaningful coincidences and dreams. I love using color to evoke mood and imagery to tell abstract tales. In my collage work I delight in deconstructing the remnants of popular culture and recombining them in the crucible of my imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
