Collage

Though I have incorporated collage in my visual art works for as long as I can remember, in 2016 I began considering as a standalone form for some for my work. I occasionally show and share my collage, but the practice is mostly a way for me to work out themes without expectations.

Below are examples of some of my work, with recent work at the top.

confrontage, february 2026

A prompt by special agent collage collective inspired new work, for consideration to be published in a future book about collage.

These works are all 8x10 inches, on mat board, using text transfer from my original texts, found photos from my collection, gelli plate prints, and other found papers, along with pencil or pen.

completed February 2026
