“We are chameleons, and our partialities and prejudices change place with an easy and blessed facility, and we are soon wonted to the change and happy in it.” – Mark Twain
Welcome friends old and new! I hope you are all well and enjoying only the best things from life. My little world has undergone some drastic changes in he past months; a move from Maine to Western Massachusetts, a drastic shift in media from clay to cut paper collage, and now a brand new website!
My interest in cut paper work dates back to my days at Marshall University, where I was fortunate enough to have had a children’s book illustration class with author and illustrator Adjoa Burroughs. Over the years I have gone back to this work here and there, but I’ve never allowed myself to fully devote my time to these pieces. So, finding myself with a bunch of spare time, and no clay studio, I decided to take this opportunity to really focus my energies on this media…and I could not be happier with the results. I find this work allows me to explore my interest in color, texture, and pattern in a whole new way, as well as opening up new options for exploring narrative and thematic content in my work.
I am so happy to have such a lovely new site on which to display and discuss my collage work. I hope you will take a moment to sign up for my email list, so that I can keep you updated on my work and let you know where you can find me. Also, take your time and browse through my gallery of images, and be sure to check back often, as I will be updating my blog regularly and will soon be adding a shop section to the site.
Cheers to you & thanks for stopping by!
