Artist Statement:
I start with things I find:
pictures, letters, ads,
fabric, idea fragments that
belong to other people, and
then I fill in the blanks with
my own story. Working with
collage makes me feel like I’m
part of something bigger, and
like I’m preserving the
otherwise forgettable details
of humanity in some small way.
Schooled in photography and
self-taught in painting and
the rest, my most influential
teachers are guts and
sensitivity. My gut jitters
when I know its good and sinks
when it stinks. Sensitivity
makes me vulnerable to
emotions and perceptive to
life and our history. When I
tell people about my artwork I
say “There’s a little bit of
me in there, there’s a little
bit of you in there”....

Savannnah, the city I live in with it's history and bizarre mix of people. |

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
I want to leave my mark on this world. Art let's me document myself, others, and the world that I live in at this time, preserved for all to see. |

| Your Personal Biography |
I come from the corn fields of Illinois. I thought about being a farmer but went with artist instead. I joined the army to pay for collage then went to school at Southern Illinois University. I received a bachelor degree in photography with art minor and later became a grahic designer. I hardly ever did 'straight' photography but was always thinking of alternative ways of printing my photos and things I could do with the photos 'post production' wise. So upon my move to Savannah (an old city with oogles of history) and finding old letters and photos and materials, it sparked the newest growth in my artwork, collage. I current reside in Portland, Oregon. |
