I love the richness, depth, and variety produced by combining different media and materials. To me, mixed media is like listening to a musical ensemble compared to a solo instrument.
I especially enjoy creating mixed media collages, because I can upcycle materials that have served their original purpose–old books, letters, unsuccessful paintings, postage stamps, packaging—rather than use new materials.
I work intuitively: I simply make marks or play around with paper pieces, decide what I like, and gradually build the work. I don’t know what the end result will be until I’ve reached it.
In addition to my own work, I get great pleasure out of sharing my excitement about art-making with others, especially those who have forgotten how easy and fun creating visual art can be.
