Contemporary Abstract collage
​

Walking in Memphis; 14" x 18" painted paper on wc paper

​Welcome! I am an artist and former Bay Area native, now residing in the beautiful Northern California foothills. My contemporary abstract collage paintings make use of my most favorite components of design: line, shape and color. By focusing on these elements I can express what are, at times, abstract and ephemeral ideas. Those design elements are influenced by my experience in the landscape (I like to hike), what is happening in my personal environment, and all of my other interests. I like to think that I bring different and disparate elements together that at first glance may not be connected. It's my job to connect those elements to make something new and exciting. The collages always have personal meaning for me but I hope that on a broader and more accessible level, the universal nature of the geometric shapes and colors allows viewers to freely engage with each piece and to put their own individual spin on things, connecting with each work in a unique way. It's this dual nature of the collage pieces that I love the most. They belong to me and but also to the viewer.
