Artist Statement

The devil is definitely in the details and photography captures details. Color and texture are key components in enhancing those details. I precisely deconstruct my photos and re-assemble them in layers. Paper has amazing qualities and limitless applications. I bend, fold, curl, texturize, crimp, and sculpt photo paper by hand and/or tool. This technique gives the photograph a unique three-dimensional quality. The intricate work is evident in her art. As each layer is added, the image becomes more detailed, the work more intricate and refined. 'CURE' was inspired by the vibrant colors and shapes which resemble cells and the hope for a cure and renewed life. My vision combined with my technique allows me to create art that has the mystery and complexity that will remain engaging and provocative.
