I started of making collages in Junior High in the form of postcards I laminated with contact paper. By the time I graduated from collage and returned from living overseas in Japan I knew I wanted to continue my college work but wanted to market them in some unique format I could sell. A few youtube tutorials later and I was pouring resin over my miniscule artwork and jeweler was added to my list of hobbies.

More recently, I have taught myself to solder and am having fun creating collages from materials other than paper and sealing them between glass. Something about the fabric, feathers, and wool clashes so wonderfully with the silver shine of the solder that I love the juxtaposition of the two media.
