Collaging is an art medium that that I find freeing, fun and creatively limitless. Working in the textile industry as a print designer has had a strong influence on my work as a collage artist. As a result, I tend to use line, text, color and organic shapes in my collages to express a mood or point of view.

Out of a concern for the environment I use repurposed materials so there is very little waste. I am always on the lookout for materials, and when I see something that has collaging potential it energizes me creatively. Gathering materials is equally as important as the collaging process.

Composition is a strength of mine. A collage’s composition is often dictated by the materials I have available. I enjoy the challenge of combining repurposed materials in new and interesting ways.
