Reflections

I use colored file folders, card stock, cardboard, and art paper to experiment with color, contrast, pattern, shape, and composition until I have found what to me feels like harmony, a balance of movement and stillness. In creating a collage, I begin with the idea of an image and then follow the evolving piece, allowing it to speak to me about where it needs to go and what needs to happen next. The result is always different than the original conception, sometimes radically so, and what emerges when the moment is right is always genuinely surprising. If the collages move you in some way or inspire something in you, then you and I have made a connection that can light up the experience of being alive.
