The images found here are a meditation on nature. I create collages that reflect my love of earth, sea and sky, as well as fiber, moss, and blades of grass. I use my own monotypes as the basis for these works. I would like the viewer to approach my work from a distance, taking in the patterns, movement, rhythms of the piece in its entirety.
