I make mixed media collages and paintings, small works on paper using repetitive text and quirky character illustrations. Most of my art is fueled by curiosity and purpose. Although a lot of the art is small in size, each piece has it's own voice and there is usually a message in the content through the materials chosen. I like to investigate the tension between working and reworking materials and my work often suggests an element of contrasting appearances. Some of my pieces start with an idea but most just evolve, allowing my instinct and the materials to take it one way or another. A common element in my work is based not around a particular aesthetic, but rather represents an obsession with the process and a desire to test my limits and to have a chuckle.
