Artist Statement

 This body of work consists of mixed media and collage on paper. The pieces are improvised.  I shape the works step by step, layer by layer, and the end result reveals itself as I progress.  I am imagining space and time converging into a two-dimensional surface resembling a landscape.

My process with these works involves using a wide variety of materials, mediums and methods.  I like being able to directly manipulate the physical materials in these small works. 

The media used in my works on paper include gouache, watercolor, acrylic, pen, pencil, graphite sticks, crayons and markers.  Materials include printed & other found papers, cardboard, packaging, fragments from discarded drawings, notebook writings and lists. Methods include tearing, cutting, painting, pasting and drawing.  

I live and work near Philadelphia PA. My artistic practice includes painting, drawing and mixed media on paper.
