About the Artist:
Recycling, deconstructing and recasting is the core of my artwork. I use intriguing cardboard and paper to create new images. Each piece has a new shape, color, pattern and energy. I allow the unforseen to emerge with the use of internal and exteral references.My collages and assemblages have been influeneced by Robert Rauschenberg's innovative use of nontraditional materials, Louise Nevelson's wall installations and Henri Matisse's use of pattern and color. My work has been shown in regional and national exhibitions. It is included in private collections in California, Connecticut, Maine, New Jersey, New York and Florida. I have a BFA from Fordham University and have studied with NY artists at the School of Visual Arts, Art Students League, NYU and Parsons School of Design.
