Inspired by folklore, mythology & the human form, I use figural subjects to evoke a mysterious familiarity & a haunting interpretation of beauty. I build layers of antique & vintage paper collage mixed with my original ink washed drawings to create visual depth on wooden panels. Incorporating historical references through my use of collage, this element creates topical & textural details. Thematically I incorporate my love of the spirit as well as the strength of the feminine. I address symbolic, cultural, historical & spiritual themes with purposeful vagueness, allowing them to be familiar & curious to a variety of audiences. I want my work to be the beginning of a dialogue, not a confrontation.
