Structure and methodical detail show in my passion for deconstructing and reconfiguring found paper, paintings, book parts and other ephemera into meaningful works of art. I incorporate right and left brain messages with the effusive use of color to provoke the viewer to see his or her personal story in the work. As a self-taught artist using only original found materials/ephemera, I find great pleasure in giving the disparate and discarded the opportunity for a new life; a new purpose and meaning when combined into a single construction. The complexity and hidden messages in these creations reference concepts and historical instances influenced by life experiences: living and travelling internationally, family upbringing, thoughts on world events and scientific education.

I collect ephemera. I sift through information and ideas. As I sift, I sort and assemble the interesting bits; the bits that contradict the familiar, the easy and the comfortable. These bits become seeds which I tend by seeking context through deliberate research. ​A viable seed will root, leading me along the path of hidden histories, connections, words and ideas that should not be forgotten.
