i have been utilizing mixed media collage as format for the last twenty years. theme and subject are generally allowed to develop themselves as works progress. rarely do i pursue a work limited to a specific idea other than structure and material usage. collage as medium allows me to set moods and feeling within each work and develop subject independently of that point.the conveyance of subject as well as a formulation of emotion and spirit is a priority to me in my work.i feel my overall technique is basic and my goal is to create works that are of interest artistically and compelling in nature.
