“I create visual compositions. I have always been a hunter and gatherer, collecting images found in used book stores, vintage shops and libraries. I work from of my collection of magazines, postcards, art works, photographs as well from my own photographs and drawings. I repurpose images from my visual collection, first making photocopies and then cutting and altering images creating mono-prints, paintings and collages. I then paint, draw and sometimes collage over these compositions. I play and manipulate images to create works that often reference my childhood memories growing up in Los Angeles in the mid-sixties as well as paying tribute to my favorite artists of the 20th Century. My background in graphic design, with a BFA and MFA from California Institute of the arts, also informs the way I see and create art works, especially with the use of negative space in each of my finished compositions.”
