Art teacher that makes collages every day since 2018!
I made a resolution in 2018 to create art every day to be a role model to my students. About mid-2018, I had a vision of a simple collage with a strong negative white space surrounding the art. I took to my sketchbook and created “Playing God”. I truly felt inspired. I appreciate vintage source images as they make me nostalgic for my childhood. I continued to make analog collages, soon finding inspiration with circles. I enjoy creating almost a portal into another world where my main subject looks into it like it’s another dimension. Because I’m creating daily, I also like to work with full size background images as well as bold flat colors that let the viewer imagine what the space represents. I enjoyed my resolution so much from 2018, I decided to continue through 2019.
In the past 1.5 years, I was chosen for the Edinburgh Collage Collective postcard contest, I have done six shows here in Portland, OR, I was chosen for the Todo Loco 2 collage show in Colombia. I have also done collaborations with creative agencies like Bobolink and Vermú. I was chosen to be featured with Artists of Oregon. I have done private commissions as well as an album cover for the band Flower Graves and will be featured in the next issue of “Create!” magazine.
Many have asked if they could purchase my work, so I decided to open an Etsy shop! Thank you for visiting, please let me know if you have any questions!
