I create finely detailed abstract mosaic paper collages using handcut or torn papers glued to substrate (wood, stretched canvas, altered books), mostly recycled. I apply multiple coats of polyurethane or polycrylic varnish to the finished collage. By experimentation and discovery I continually seek to augment my personal vocabulary of collage patterns, and strive for originality in each new piece. I do not sell, exhibit, or create reproductions of my collages.
