In addition to traveling, I enjoy exploring flea markets and yard sales where searching for inspiration and material that can be layered into acrylic and mixed media pieces is a true treasure. Forgotten family photos, love letters, and books are some of the collage material I incorporate into expressive one of kind creations. In a redemptive art style, I look for the beauty, both seen and unseen, in these collected papers and then incorporate them into not only works of art, but also personal keepsakes that reflect matters of the heart.
