Many things come together in the creating of my art. Collecting and patterns are of particular interest to me. I have many collections in my home that serve as inspiration for my art and often find their way onto my canvas. In the past I have used collections of old buttons, old photographs, books, letters and figurines (to name a few) to serve as subject matter for my paintings and collages. In arranging and painting these collections, I have also imposed and layered patterned motifs overtop of and around my subject matter. I understand patterns as a means to tame what is natural and potentially wild. Natural forms are neither symmetrical nor predictable until order is imposed on them by an outside force; the artist in this case. In the layering of patterns from natural objects with the juxtaposition of man made imagery, I attempt to explore the relationships between nature and the world we continue to create. I am presently working with paper and collections of words to construct organic objects that continue my exploration of our connections with the world around us.
