My work is a journal, a scrapbook, an experiment—a place for me to process, distill, and transform my experiences and interests into something more holistic and meaningful. For me, collage begins with collecting, saving, acquiring, searching; then, as if they were memories, I meticulously sort, separate, and organize them into something new—something that is both happily accidental and tediously arranged. I find the whole process of creating art nurturing, therapeutic, and playful, and I endeavor to grant such pleasures to the viewer as well. Through serendipity, I seek honest expression, chance, mystery, and revelations.
