I collage for the sheer joy of it; I love neutral colors and tone on tone, so texture and shape become very important to me.

 Using objects and papers reclaimed from the earth, I rework and transform them to reintroduce them to the world in collage. My pieces are, therefore, original to me in materials as well as in execution.

A series provides an opportunity to implement and complete my ideas, so I often use  polytychs.  Exploring the same colors in multiple works is exciting to me and it is a pleasing challenge to present new ideas and arrangements in the same genre.
