Regardless of the media I include, my work always comes down to collage. Whether rendered in a 3-dimensional assemblage fashion, or a 2-D picture plane, my fascination begins with found papers. I see these items as a metaphor for our own lives, and seek to bring them together in a way that opens the viewer to a deeper experience of an overarching theme of personal redemption – where every part of who you are is embraced and nurtured. I call my process intuitive, but it all boils down to learning to trust and open oneself to the voice inside; the one that can guide creative decisions and bring about a much richer work of art then what skilled technique alone can do.

From obtaining gallery representation, to writing a book The Art of Expressive Collage: Techniques for Creating with Paper and Glue; North Light Books, Summer 2015, to teaching workshops nationwide, and opening a studio, learning to tune in to the voice within has led me on a journey of learning "I can". Join me for an "I can" experience of your own as you learn to tune in to the creative flow while identifying the negative messages and fears that stop you.
