  Artist's Statement
"My mixed media collages with assemblage frames are some- what challenging in that the art is not finalized until the viewer completes it. In general, there is no pre-arranged single story, idea, or philosophy inherent in the work. Because the work is made of many parts on different layers, each viewer will assign a value to each part of the work as it relates to the whole. Ideally, this experience will be much like the theater, in that the stage is set and the viewer writes the play.”
