I'm a collage artist first and foremost. For over twenty years I've been collecting papers and constructing images. It wasn't until I found natural inclusions papers including unryu, amate, Lokta, marbled papers, and countless other handmade papers that I learned that what I love most is recreating the raw textures of nature. All my art is made on high quality stretched canvas and coated with a protective varnish when the piece is done.
