Artist’s Statement

Texture is the subject of my work and inspires it. My collage process is one of discovery: Constructing and deconstructing, layering and removing to see what new surface I can reveal. I include elements from personal experience, the urban environment and popular culture, vernacular and primitive art.

My artwork allows me to combine images of former experiences to create images not known by experience; to bring into being new things of value. The challenge lies in being intensely conscious yet still in touch with unconscious sources.
