Collage
Starting within a framework of an existing structure such as a cigar box, I combine found objects, images, quotes and other ephemera to construct a narrative around a theme. In some example seen here, I have been commissioned to create a commemorative collage in honor of an individual or an event.
If you are interested in discussing a commissioned piece, please feel free to contact me.

Furniture
Using existing chairs and other day-to-day furniture items, using simple techniques, I alter these traditional pieces. Based on the objects form, I like to add an extra element of personality to these pieces and the settings where they are placed.
