Collage and mixed media
Events 2024
Artist's Statement
I am a collage and mixed media artist working out of my home studio in Somerville, Mass.
For SOS 2024 I am focusing on BIRDS in my artwork! What you will see if you come by are small canvases featuring collage work and vintage bird images, and various framed collages featuring birds of all kinds. There will also be colorful note cards for sale and other treats for the eyes. If you love collage, color, and/or birds, please come by and check out my work! I will be showing at the Armory building, 191 Highland Ave in Somerville, MA, 02143.
Artist info: In collage I use colorful palettes and a variety of papers including vintage, found, and hand-painted sheets. Paper offers innumerable options because of its varied colors, textures, and weights. I enjoy exploring those choices and generating new combinations in my artwork; creating with my hands is a satisfying and meditative practice.
I have studied at the DeCordova Museum School, the CCAE Intensive Studio course and the Massachusetts College of Art, among other programs. My artwork has been shown during Somerville Open Studios and in numerous group shows, including a 2020 Emerging Artists juried exhibition at the Cambridge Art Association, and at Boston City Hall in 2022 and 2023.
