I have been bird watching for a few years now and started collecting bird and animal pieces. This body of work looks at animals in our society and our relationship with them whether through adoration, admiration or amazement.

My assemblages are created from treasures I collect on my travels, garage sales and antique stores. I tend to work in series as that seems to complete my thoughts.
Assemblage is an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects.

I have been lucky enough to have traveled to many countries in the world. This body of work reflects on those cultures and people I had a glimpse of. My art practice is very much affected by my travels. I collect in other countries and interpret my memories into my pieces.

As long as I can remember I have always had a camera. My first one was a brownie flash and I still have it. I love taking pictures of my travels and my neighbourhood. I make books with my photos with subjects like laundry, chairs, doors, windows, hands, etc.
I consider myself a snapshot photographer and by that I mean even though I use a digital camera I don't use any special set ups or equipment and I don't use photo shop. Just the snapshot as it was taken.
Being an assemblage artist I find it hard just to put the photo into a frame so my photos are layered with transparencies, printed on canvas, covered with beeswax or part of an assemblage.

The Ceremonial Blanket work was made in 2012 for a show at NP40 Gallery in Amsterdam, The Netherlands while I was there on a six month self directed residency. I challenged myself by working in a medium I had never experimented with before.
The pieces on linen and cotton are experiments done during a bi-weekly event in my studio where several artists come together to work on textile projects which include rug making, quilts, sail making and reusing materials to create art or functional items.

This series looks at artists and crafts persons and the tools that they use. We are losing skilled arts as technology renders certain trades as obsolete. Not only do we lose the artists, we also lose the tools. This is my homage to them.
This piece was selected as a semi-finalist in the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series and was shown at Gallery Jones in Vancouver, BC, thanks to owners Jeanne and Michael Maslenki- Krabbendam.
