I am interested in making the ordinary extraordinary and discovering new possibilities with different mediums. I am presently working on more abstract works working with collage and mixed media. I enjoy being with fellow artists always going forward with new ideas and methods to try. I find it invaluable to the growing process to see other artist’s works and techniques.
