My collage works are abstractions of found story in discarded vintage ephemera. I work intuitively, so often a story emerges after drawing randomly from my storehouse of 1910-1960s papers and boxes salvaged from their landfill destination. Working quickly so as not to overthink, colors, shapes and patterns emerge often influenced by recent experiences. The aged materials tied with these recent influences lend that mind to a thread that runs through the human story.
