I make surreal collage paintings focusing on emotion and internal personal logic. Materials such as beads, collage, vintage fabric, wax, and thread help build a blank landscape to frame surreal figures. Figures are given new personas by changing their faces to inanimate objects to expose their innermost thoughts and emotions. Handwritten and typed text is added to each painting. The text for me is when the painting turns into art. It is like the lyrics of a song you cant stop thinking about or the phrase in a book that rolls around your head for months. The collage paintings are painted, drawn, hand-sewn, beaded, and waxed. Cold wax is added between the layers of paper to create a milky, soft sheen, and wrinkled surface.
