Collage, Mixed Media, and Encaustic Artist

I have always-treasured antique papers, photos and ephemera and have continually incorporated these vintage items into my collage, mixed media and encaustic art. The artwork comes from a unique spirit within that constantly inspires my distinctive collage style. Using original vintage items whenever possible, my collage, mixed media and encaustic art preserves bits of history and creates keepsake treasures of art.

“Years of experience in art and the antiquated unrelated objects I use seem to spark some unique connection in this process of collage and mixed media for me. I love the way it all happens, the falling together of everything I have done.”

I have had many solo and joint exhibits in Pennsylvania galleries, as well as showing my work at the Art Association of Harrisburg, Middletown Area Arts Collective, Highmark BlueShield, The Whittaker Center, Dauphin County Courthouse, Penn National Insurance and several businesses in the Harrisburg and Lancaster area. I am also a member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsman in the Lancaster chapter.
