About The Artwork

This series of mixed media work was created while in isolation due to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. Just weeks before quarantine, I temporarily moved in with my partner at the time because my apartment was uninhabitable due to a mouse infestation. In addition to living together for the first time, my partner experienced a traumatic and unexpected death of a childhood friend, and within days, I became ravaged with food poisoning. The apartment itself was also very dirty, uncomfortable, and not fit for two people. When I am stressed and depressed, I must make art. And because my art supplies were in my former apartment, I used whatever I could find in his apartment. I worked on small pieces of cardboard, used imagery from one issue of a Sports Illustrated magazine, and a few stray markers and colored pencils. From these materials, I attempted to create small works in my natural mixed media, abstract style. I enjoyed the challenge of working with constrained materials, and this “making something out of nothing” inspired energy effortlessly emerged within the pieces themselves. Each final piece is roughly 3” x 3”. And in order to beautify my rather dismal surroundings, I originally displayed each finished piece on a hand-made aluminum foil "shelf" fastened to the wall with scotch tape.

I have been making art since I was very young, and used art-making as a way to manage my anxiety as a little girl. Around age five, I used to doodle on white mailing envelopes and coffee filters using bright Magic Markers. And I would take chubby wax Crayons, peel the paper off, and scrape the sides of them on the lip of a jar. Watching the colorful shavings drop into the jar, I would create a work of art with the layers of colors. I didn't realize it at the time, and just thought it was something fun and beautiful to do. But, this was the beginning of my obsession with color and beauty. I went to art college in Philadelphia and studied painting, drawing, and photography. I fell in love with all of these mediums, but ultimately chose photography as my path of study. However, I was never satisfied with just a photograph, and always wanted to incorporate my love of paint and mark-making into my photographic work. I created my first collage series in college as a way to manage and process the heavy emotions surrounding my relationship with my mother. To this day, that body of work is my most cherished. And this is how my love of collage began. Currently, I am an artist, creating and working in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I construct small and delicate collages on paper using my own photography (usually color Xeroxes of my images, but sometimes original photographs), found images, paint, colored pencil, graphite, and other materials. I also draw on occasion and try not to put myself into any particular medium box. I make what feels right and I make what makes me feel better in the moment. Influences/Inspiration: Cy Twombly, William Eggleston, Gerhard Richter, Édouard Vuillard, Deborah Roberts
