My work is made up of a wide range of materials, often using whatever is at hand. The pieces include recycled papers which are painted, cut up and collaged – often mixed with silk, thread, acrylic, graphite and ink. I also am a sculptor, working in recycled metals. I am a firm believer in using what I have, and no scrap is too small.

My resulting works are highly textural and full of color. They provide an element of surprise for the viewer when the details are seen up close. I look to use simple materials and enjoy the experimentation and the challenge of elevating them to something that is other.
