Collage Series
I like to work in a series, one to challenge myself, two for discipline and three because there a wonder about carrying on a subject matter and the artistic abilities grow with each series. I like to play using the same sizes to varying the sizes and substrates. It feels like I'm giving myself an assignment sometimes and other times I feel I have to work out an idea till I understand and know it well.13 Moons is a series inspired by a children's book, Thirteen Moons on Turtle’s back A Native American year of moons by Joseph Bruchac and Jonathan London

Collage Nudes
I attended a few life drawing classes back in the summer of 1979, but haven't gone back until just recently. A stir of life drawing workshops, classes and open studio time has influence my interests. I am a hand papermaker and collage artist using a technique of heat fusion to complete the collage gluing process. In preparing to lay out my work I find the absence of sketching works best for me. Allowing the handmade, found and painted papers with images I've chosen to guide me, leaving much to trust and intuition, I decided to give life drawing another chance. Pulling on my ceramic background of piece work, to tear and manipulate the papers into the image I see before me.
