About the Artist
“In my work, the rich textures, bright colors, detailed patterns and the titles, which are often plays on words and meanings, all contribute to the story. By creating multiple layers of papers, patterns and shapes into a narrative form I encourage both myself and the viewer to ponder and appreciate the joys in everyday life. Anger and fear are some of the easiest emotions to provoke. This happens on a daily basis in a variety of ways from the pulpit to the evening news. So I have chosen to deliberately stimulate the emotions of Joy and Happiness. By playing with humor, meaning and everyday life I invite people to think about universal issues and to be reminded of the value of what is human.
My images are created by hand-making paper, usually from 100% cotton rag pulp. Often I will hand-dye, hand-print or hand-marble the sheets of paper that are to be cut out into shapes and collaged together to create each image. Each interlocking design and multi-layered story is created from these hundreds of smaller cut shapes. In a similar way our lives are made up of thousands of small moments which add up to make us who we are.”
