I'm an assemblage artist with a love for oddities as well as miniatures. I have a deep attatchment to the old, damaged, discarded and forgotten. Rust, clocks and keys are some of my favorite items to work with. To the average person these items may seem useless but I feel a great sense of strength and I ask my self what story lies within this old worn item that sits before me.
My adventure to junk stores and flea markets are exciting and when I find that perfect item it instantly inspires me and starts me on a journey to share a message with the world. In my assemblages I bring together objects that have no purpose or connection to one another but when combined with other elements they begin to tell a story. Once I begin I'm never sure how it will end, often I'm surprised at what sit's before me.
