Artist Statement

I create ethereal, whimsical collage works of art. Creating with imagery delicately removed with a cutting blade from vintage magazines, books, and postcards, the images are reassembled and become unified, telling one story. Negative space in my work provides the images with room for conversation; the crisp background acts as a springboard for the detail and fusion of the images. Whether a work on paper or panel encased in resin, these images are rescued from thrift stores, half-priced book shops, and estate sales and archived and preserved within their new story.  My work celebrates women and juxtaposes old-fashioned ideologies within new, contemporary settings and surroundings.
