Hello San Francisco Collage

I use found papers from recycled magazines, newspapers maps and labels to create a solid subject. But, the challenge is to add little nuances for the viewer to discover when moving in closer to the artwork. Many collectors have told me that they find new pieces each time they look at their collage. And, that is my goal. It keeps them engaged and interested in the art they have selected. I often ask myself, “What lead me to this particular medium?”. I do know that as a child I was fascinated by cool papers, stationery, stencils, embossed cards and unique text. I even worked in a printing office for awhile. I’m drawn to the story about Steve Jobs and his love of calligraphy, which ultimately led us to having all the wonderful fonts on our computers(and in magazines!) I also enjoy the “Where’s Waldo” task of finding objects in a cluttered space. I have found my niche in the world of art!
