​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, namely 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 other things, both internal and external. In other words, the collages are a personal reflection of me and my interests. On a broader and more accessible level though, 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 also to the viewer.
