I usually begin by drawing and/or painting many designs, shapes, doodles, and written thoughts onto paper.

There is always the possibility to change - recreate. Mixed media/collage is a very forgiving medium, which is in part why I relate and enjoy the process. My goal for a collage is reached when I am finally content with the color harmony, pattern relation, dimension created and emotions/thoughts expressed. Emotions, nature, and color inspire me and are often the intertwining themes in my work. There is satisfaction placing “chaos” in order, and excitement combining these contrasting elements into a dynamic composition. Arranging expressive designs of nervous energy in a contained, structured way is for me a very calming and almost meditative experience. The rest is color, light and shadow, one thing merging into another.Įnergy in order is one way I would describe my work. There are no hard lines, only the ones we make. I love the challange of drawing or painting that array and depth, it is malleable, it blends and layers.

The World is so full of color, if you look at just a square inch of nature there is a rainbow within it. I wish that feeling of peace for all of us, so am grateful for this opportunity to share my work with you. Being able to create this body of work was a privilege: very satisfying and soothing to the soul. This painting was created just as winter was on its retreat a quiet, introspective time full of hope and anticipation.
