“I am passionate about beauty. As a design student, my favorite part of any project was how the design was depicted on the presentation boards and this is what fuels my art today. I work in mixed media collage using paper, paint, colored pencils and marker on canvas, wood or plexi-glass. My inspiration comes from pop-art with it’s colorful, graphic and sometimes irreverant appeal. I tend toward an iconic look with a sense of whimsy. My subjects include flora, fauna, people and houses.
