Town and Country 16" x 20" collage on matboard found and painted papers and text

Welcome! I am a collage artist and former CA Bay Area native residing in the beautiful Northern California foothills. My collages utilize found papers, images, and hand painted papers to create works which are both contemporary and retro. My process involves picking images and elements (ephemera) that speak to me in some personal way. I then use that ephemera to create a collage which is simply a layering of different items into one cohesive piece. I use traditional artistic elements such as line, shape, and color as a means of organizing the various bits of ephemera into something meaningful and fun to look at. Collage enables me to get my ideas out of my head and into the world. And while the work is personal to me, I hope that the viewer walks away with their own thoughts and interpretations. Art is really meant to entertain, to inform, and to be personal to the individual who views it.
