The titles of the works, which are suggestive of allegorical content, serve as introductions to the images narrative. My aim is to engage the viewer in both the title’s verbal association and it’s visual analogy. My hope is that the work will provide both surface and metaphorical readings that will connect the idea with […]
Combining found elements with those fashioned by my own hand, my work encompasses two- and three-dimensional collage as well as sculptural objects. Infused with a rich sense of history, the essence of my work lies in the age-old struggle between nature and the man-made industrial world. My challenge is to convey that sense of conflict […]
My work can be described as surrealistic photomontage..It is a combination of photographic parts from several different photographs put together seamlessly to make a new image.

I move from a moment in nature to the back-story of cities dying and being reborn, to faces/people in the middle of their personal stories. In all instances, if it touches me I need to catch it and express it. And as for my choice of medium, I select each one for how it moves […]

I am interested in visual subjects exploring authenticity and identity, feminism and destruction. I am curious about the constructs of creativity in bilingual cultures and the limits of language in different cultures. I am disturbed by injustice, and my response was to create a depiction of language’s potential ambiguities. Language is power, and lack of […]
As an artist, I’ve always found myself split between two disciplines: photography and mixed media. My photographic images reflect what I see in the world around me. They are my eye looking outward. My mixed media work, on the other hand, is my eye looking inward. In my photographic work, I look for compositional elements of […]

Though I’ve lived in […]

I make drawings and site-specific installations for private, commercial, and alternative settings. I prefer to work in the architecture of the everyday—on the walls, windows, and doors that often go unnoticed or ignored until I leave abstract traces in an explosion of color, natural light or, text. My work is as likely to include a message as […]
