My background in photography, graphic design and painting inspires my multi-media work by combining these disciplines to create layered and textural pieces. Combining found materials and man-made objects into painterly backgrounds my work takes on an abstract feel with a nod to material culture, both past and present. My work in advertising and design for many years has influenced the iconography and composition of my pieces. I consider my work a journey, “Collage & assemblage is a process of selection, dimension, juxtaposition, and association- Metzinger’s “ fusion of objects within a limited space.” A field of color and a simple piece of paper can interact, conjuring a third thing capable of evoking a powerfully heartfelt and transcendent response. I am never sure of exactly where the journey begins, or where it will end. It’s a mystery possessed of both difficulty and delight that results in a celebration of fate.

Mixed media work that acts as sculptural commentary on my day-to-day experiences and observations.

I grew up in Reading, Pa, where our playgrounds were often derelict lots. This influence has allowed me to find beauty and stories in found object and scenarios in the discarded. Wabi-Sabi, the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. Urban beauty and natural surroundings possess these qualities. In my mixed media paintings, sculpture and photography, I continue to explore the connection to objects and society. In my “Home” series, I have struggled to define what is home to me during these turbulent times. This search has led me to many places in my surrounding area and allowed me to rediscover those scenes that bring that feeling of comfort and peace within. I have long worked to explore combining various media in my work. My curiosity and exploration of surface treatments, has allowed me to discover new ways of creating a narrative on my ceramic pieces and paintings.
