A collector by nature, I enjoy the process of expanding my photographic and found materials databases, both of which inspire the original motifs and illustrations I create through various types of printmaking. I incorporate these databases into my collages, prints, and fibers works through a deconstructive and re-assemblage process to create layered spatial environments that challenge the original referent. Through prominent patterns, layering of illustrative elements, and unique perspective, I construct limitless stories that reference observed and literary worlds alike.
