Connections

Description: Collage using found and personal papers
Books have a way of reaching out, drawing us in and connecting us all at the same time. My main goal with this work was to create a sense of the connections that humans achieve by sharing a love of the printed page. I decided to create a freestanding triptych book without pages to represent what was lost on that day at the same time trying to show the resilience and strength of people.Ive been an artist all of my life. Ive been making a living from my work for over fifteen years now (selling work, art classes and gallery exhibits.) I teach art workshops across the U.S. as well as online. I love teaching and truly believe that deep down inside everyone is an artist, capable of creating something. There is power and knowledge in the act of creating something with your own hands, made from your own heart and head.
