Artist Statement:
Making art brings me great
joy, and I believe each canvas
is like a brief moment in an
untold story.
My collage art is inspired by
vintage images found in old
magazines, catalogs and books.
I am fascinated by these
forgotten treasures and the
people who left them on
shelves and in boxes in
basements and attics for me to
rediscover. By the time I
find them the paper is
yellowed and faded, mice have
chewed the corners and insects
and moths have made their
holes. But these images are
precious to me. I imagine the
time when they were brand new
and the dreams they inspired -
of beautiful fashions or
traveling to far away places.
They are as fresh and brimming
with innovation to my eyes as
they were to the eyes that saw
them the first time around.
When I choose the images for a
collage I am conscious that
the final result will be
whimsical, often surreal,
while remaining visually
rooted in times past. And it
is my intention not only to
stir imaginations, but also to
encourage a sort of
sentimental nostalgia.
