Biography:
Born in Philadelphia, PA
Education:
East Carolina University in Greenville, NC majored in Communication
and minored in Art.
Statement:
I have eclectic taste. That's why I'm so fascinated by the
usage of mixed media and collage. The reason I like these
mediums is because of the outcome of combining various elements,
creating several textures and color to evoke a thought and
mood. It's like a pizza with everything on it. Once you take
that first bite, you're inundated with flavor. And that's
what I strive for in my work.
I
work with assemblage, collage, mixed-media and works on paper.
I use lots of found objects, drawings, print outs, text usage,
graphite, color pencil, gouache, acrylic, pastel, etc. My
pieces deal with life itself, i.e., the people we are, what
we create, our capabilities and the issues with which we deal.
My premise is to lure the viewer in. Once they're in, they
will be placed in a position to reflect on and question their
ethics, be it disquieting or placid.
