I am a lover of the hunt.....for me, there is nothing more satisfying than rummaging through boxes full of rusty bits in the back of someone's garage or scouring the thrift store shelves- all in search of those oddball items that blur the line between trash and treasure. Old keys, vintage books and magazines, doll parts, rusty screws, unmatched buttons and other castoffs are embraced and worked into unexpected assemblage pieces and collages of found objects. There is something very beautiful about breathing new life into these discarded remnants and allowing them to be displayed and appreciated in an entirely new way than their original intended purposes.
Each collage or assemblage piece typically begins without a preconceived theme, but as items/clippings are added one by one, it takes on a life of its own, eventually becoming one unified piece. I hope that I have created artwork that is both beautiful and unexpected, and that you will enjoy seeing these forgotten objects displayed in an entirely new light!
