First Saturday Open Studios

I am an assemblage artist who also uses collage and photography in my art practice. 

As I travel in different countries, including my own, I find I need to create art to continue my experience and memories of those places.  My assemblage pieces consist of found objects combined with my photographs and treasures collected during my travels.  Once in the studio I take from my myriad of labeled boxes an object that I want to start with and combine it with other objects, text, photographs usually constructed in a found box to tell the story.
My collages are created with my own photos. My inspiration for them is architecture or religious iconography. They are mounted on heavy water colour paper or wood panel.
