“My palette is mostly culled
from papers- found,
manufactured and hand made. In
truth I have an addiction to
paper-old, new, unusual. My
tools are glue, brushes, paint,
brayers, rulers and pencils.
Today's long lasting, non-acidic,
and non-yellowing glues make
the gluing process easier and
allow me to add textural objects,
cloth, letters, coins and more to
the boards (mat board, canvas
boards, masonite etc.) on which
I create my work. .”

“I enjoy working with
canvas in collage. It
allows me the ability
to stitch and add
beads, dowel rods,
sticks and other odd
objects. I coat some
of my pieces with
beeswax. It is a
natural sealant. “
