Collage is a technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a single surface various materials not normally associated with one another, such as paper, magazine pages, and fabric. I like the destructive part of finding and ripping paper and then making it whole again by combining it with other tidbits to create something new.

Watercolor is my first love. I like watching the pigment build, layer after layer. It moves as it dries and I love how some colors granulate. I've been on watercolor painting trips with different instructors (Italy and Scotland with Iain Stewart; Maine and New Mexico with Lester Lee; France with Ruth Armitage) and they always motivate my creativity in new and addictive ways. Just when I think I’ve learned all I can learn, a new twist is presented to me.
