About

I’ve been making art of one kind or another my entire life.

I’ve been a classical pianist and a published poet, a master gardener and an interior designer. I’ve quilted and needlepointed, upcycled furniture, explored shibori dyeing, and made my own paper. In my professional life as a writer and editor, I’ve worked with wildly talented graphic designers to craft the right visual message, and have helped clients shape their thoughts into something beautiful and elegant.

Collage art is an extension of who I am in all these roles. Telling a story, finding balance in color and shape, tapping into the poetry of ordinary materials to reveal hidden beauty, and above all celebrating the evidence of hand in all its imperfection and authenticity.

I am drawn to memory and metaphor, myth and philosophy, the uncanny and the epiphanic. Nothing is what it seems, surfaces conceal depths, and where I start is rarely where I end up.
