I continue the great collage tradition by reorganizing and resampling images from popular culture to form new socially significant ones. I utilize the medium and reimagine  the legacy left by such artists as Hannah Hoch, Romare Bearden, and Martha Rosler.

These new pictures are created by arranging images, particularly those used in media and marketing. The windows through which we consume views of the world around us are broken and put back together at my will, more immediately than painting or sculpture. Immediacy is not only a by-product of the collage technique, but also a reaction to and function of the images being used and the times in which they are being produced. They are a product of their environment.

Commonalities that run through my work are themes from ancient and medieval art such as religious iconography, gods and goddesses, and portraiture. I am inspired by these subjects because they perpetuate through time in all their many permutations and means for consumption.
