Golden Light II Collage

I’ve been working formally with paper since 2017. My approach and process has evolved since. As a paper artist, my work is rooted in a minimalist design aesthetic and a genuine love of paper. I am inspired by nature and strive to capture its complexity and beauty with the simplest of elements—such as circles and lines. In my studio, I am a maker. Working with my hands has always brought my mind a sense of ease and my body a feeling of purpose. I work with paper because I truly believe in its magic. Until recently, paper single-handedly held and carried most of our history as human beings. It is incredibly versatile and unassuming. Most importantly, it is natural. Much of what I do is fueled by a curiosity to listen as it interacts with its environment when pushed beyond the flat surface and out into the three-dimensional world of light and shadow.
