About the Artist
Growing up as an odd, chubby, artsy child in the late 60's', early 70's, I aspired to become Barbie, a Stewardess or a Playboy Bunny. With my untreated addiction to candy, paper dolls, Vogue & House Beautiful magazines as well as Colorforms, I lived for anything to take me away into a fantasy world of pointy-breasted, high-fashion, feminine whimsy. Later on in life, after my 19th nervous breakdown in the corporate world, I got off the mind-numbing rollercoaster train-wreck created by my own thoughts and returned to my artistic roots reflecting my childhood passions.
My collages are quirky little, "left of center" stories; each piece appears to be one cohesive image but upon closer inspection, like a little drop down the “rabbit hole”, the collective components find their way together to create a delicious, maybe even a little disorienting, marriage of vintage and modern composition. The collages are “Mindful Art”, coming together organically like “Improv Comedy”. I never know what I am going to create. I start in search of a my “Muse” and then build from there. I religiously “Collage Bomb” my work with animals, especially dogs.
My mission is to delight. Just like life, with collage, anything can happen. Mostly, the collection is grounded in joy.
