As a collage and fiber artist I revel in taking similar or disparate parts and melding them into something new, encountering how individual elements are transformed when combined with others. I explore the subleties and complexities of color, light, and movement with constant fascination.
2 works in the 2026 exhibition
I create collage elements by implementing painting, printmaking and surface-altering methods on paper. These techniques result in textural effects and moods that range from aged and distressed to vibrant and energetic. Through layering the imagery and combining the collage components, I explore how color, form, and movement interact compositionally.
