I am a treasure hunter and storyteller with a passion for finding the common threads between materials, cultures, places and timeframes. My extensive collection of mixed media supplies is a playground where I curate the visual ties between unrelated items and discern the storylines that bring them together. I see the world as a place where individual parts are invaluable contributors to cohesive wholeness and collage art is a natural extension of that. Each project begins as a space to facilitate surprising combinations that somehow belong together. Ultimately, I hope to engage the viewer with discoveries of their own that spark wonder, recognition, and a sense of connection. The select works I have chosen for my website each offer a story of their own and collectively represent how memory and perception can be interwoven with artifacts from our daily lives to illuminate the interconnectedness of the human experience.
