I use found, abandoned, and recycled materials in my artwork.
My most recent work is collage. I play around with shape, color, line , and a range of surfaces. This enables me to let the composition evolve as I add and remove elements.
My approach is to get started and see where it leads me. My frequent walks in nature provide inspiration for the geometric features of my artwork
