- About My Art:
- Mixed Media Collage
I am interested in creating work that tells the story of western civilization. To assist in that process I often use text in the content of the image to inform and educate about the painted subject. As an art educator, and anthropological artist I am breaking down various scenes into images, using elements such as textstraction, abstract backgrounds and reclaimed found objects such as paper, wood and metal to create a mixed media environment. I am attracted by subjects that tell stories or international icons born of or adopted into American culture. I am intrigued by contrasting images and other forms of dichotomy that are found in western culture. I enjoy painting, constructing scenes by deconstructing various images and putting them back together like jigsaw puzzles made up of pieces from divergent boxes.
