Artist Statement:
My work explores identity
issues, chance as an element
in art and the Dada concept of
collage, but on a digital
level based on my photography,
digital painting and “found
imagery”. I consider digital
collage as the alchemy of our
day. We take base metal in
the form of images with one
meaning, and then by adding or
subtracting data we create
something with new meanings,
sometimes readily apparent
other times not. In some of
my work I weave in portions of
images of myself which further
implicate my view of the
world. I have a tendency to
gravitate toward strong colors
which fuel the emotions behind
the worlds I create in art.

Currently I am working on a
series entitled “Power: Lines
& Shapes” which will form the
basis for a one-woman show
this coming January. The work
consists of large scale lambda
prints of photographs of power
lines and transformers blended
digitally to focus on how
ordinary elements can become
something else and also a
study in shape, color and
mass. I’ve always been
fascinated by the machinery of
electricity upon which I
depend so much for my art.
