About the artist

A painter and printmaker by training, I have been making collages since the late 1970’s. In 1994 I began working in a postcard-size format using “found” visual data – images, colors, textures and text – from various sources including catalogues, advertising brochures, and my personal collection of snapshots and memorabilia. In the collage-making process I remove bits of visual information from their original contexts and recombine them to create tiny, enigmatic scenes. Images of windows, doorways and mirrors juxtaposed with visual references to time, journeys, history, art and the everyday invite multiple interpretations. The small format relates to familiar book and postcard reproductions through which we often become acquainted with art masterpieces.

My background includes a BFA from the University of Colorado and MA from Cal Poly Pomona. From 1970 – 1993 I held positions in museum education, first at Houston’s Contemporary Arts Museum and subsequently at the University Art Museum, California State University Long Beach. Now an artist/educator in Evergreen, Colorado, I conduct art workshops through the Evergreen Artists’ Association and other local arts organizations and exhibit widely in juried shows locally and nationally.
