IScissors, cutting, gluing, and painted paper are how I deliberately breathe life into the ordinary and familiar by experimenting with layering, shadows, color, patterns, and subtle nuances of light and form.

My process of using painted paper to create a collage is both spontaneous and intentional. As I apply multiple layers of paint to the paper, unexpected brush marks and textures emerge. The thickness of the paper develops a rhythm of edges as it is glued to the surface, enhancing the complexity of the composition. Working from the background to the foreground, I refine each detail until the desired result is achieved. This approach allows me to create artworks that are not only visually striking but also rich in meaning and depth.

I aim to help viewers understand the inherent beauty and complexity of seemingly mundane objects and appreciate the sheer wonder and uniqueness of our world.
