Great Smoky Mountains & Other Art
Great Smoky Mountains, collage on vintage postcard, 2022 I’ve been so focused on my collage practice lately that I haven’t been writing very much. I’ve also, over the past few weeks, started a small business selling my artwork locally, which wasn’t something I’d really planned to do. It just kind of happened organically…but more about […]

Glitch & Other Art
Glitch, paper collage, 2022 Here’s a new batch of artwork that has a “glitchy” theme. When I sat down to my collage practice yesterday and today, I very much found myself in the mood to “mess things up” (in a fun way). I hope you enjoy these. Prints for all of the artwork above, with […]

What Belongs to You
Ascending, paper collage, 2022 It is not your job to acquire belongings; it is your job to figure out what belongs to you and create extensions of its light. It is not often that my first thought of the day is as meaningful as this one. But on those rare occasions when, suspended somewhere between […]

Minimal Spaces (Big Worlds)
Horizon, paper collage, 2022 Lately, I’ve really been missing the surreal/pop art style collages I used to make. So, I spent time yesterday working on a few really fun compositions that I hope to share soon. I love working with strange objects, vibrant colors, and quirky landscapes, but it’s certainly not what I would describe […]

I actually like Command Performance so much I am gifting the original (prints are available). Germinate took awhile to make. It began as an attempt to utilize the half-beetle […]

Philosophical Conversations
I set aside some time this afternoon for my collage practice, but unfortunately not much came out of it. I suspect the fact that I was working outside and trying to photograph some Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at the same time had something to do with that. But, I digress. I made “Philosophical Conversations” a few days […]
