I am an artist based in Philadelphia, working with paper, recycled and/or handmade as the medium, to create collage and sculpture artworks.

Paper represents my art breakthrough, as it was a fragmented beginning, an urge deeply buried.

As my art emerged I began to fulfill my aspirations by mixing handmade paper, with pigments and  raw fibers. When recycled papers, textiles, and additives were used in my work these salvaged pieces and fragments were given a home.
This positioned the artwork itself as an archive for materials otherwise deemed obsolete.
