My work with paper is about exploring personal and contemporary issues using organic and geometric forms, as well as elements sourced from my deconstructed paintings and cut-outs from previous collages.  I’m looking for connections between these materials through color, shape, texture and a balance of positive and negative space resulting in a blend of aesthetic pleasure and meaningful messages. Weaving in inspiration from music, society, and culture my focus and intention are to bring the viewer into a world where simplicity is complex but never unapproachable.
