As an Abstract and Mixed-Media Artist, I've been creating art since I was in my 20's. I enjoy taking classes in art at various art centers in NJ, including Center for Contemporary Art in Bedminster, Visual Arts Center in Summit, Arts Council of Princeton, Artworks in Trenton, and many other retreats. Also, I have been exhibiting my work since 2010 at many different venues. Exhibiting has given me the opportunity to expose my artwork and receive awards.
I truly enjoy creating Collage and Mixed Media works of art. My interest in art developed in college, when one art professor allowed us to use whatever medium we chose, and to make whatever we imagined. I thoroughly enjoyed the freedom she gave us for self-discovery.
My collages are dimensional, and I enjoy looking for articles that I can incorporate into the artwork. Many of these articles can be found in antique shops, flea markets, or just around the house.
Some of my collages are personalized for family and friends. Others are created with a particular theme in mind, or by just combining materials that are visually appealing and exciting. To me, art is a learning experience that never ends.
