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

There are many types of landscapes: emotional, psychological, geographical, and physical. I create collage work from found paper along with my own imagery to construct these landscapes. I\u2019m inspired by many contemporary and historic artists and movements, including the Mail Art Movement. I often use encaustic wax, one of the oldest art forms in the world, as a collage medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a visual artist living and working in Denver, Colorado, USA. I was born in Breckenridge, Minnesota in 1989. I received my BFA from Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design in 2013, and since have exhibited my work locally, nationally and internationally. I am currently a member of Pirate: Contemporary Art Oasis in Denver’s 40West Arts District and a member of The Postcard Collective. I’m an alumna of Artnauts, an art collective which addresses social and political themes across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
