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.

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.

I started working with statues and images of the Virgen de Guadalupe many years ago after travelling several times to Mexico and gathering quite a collection.
This body of work has either an image or a statue of the Virgen and although they work as a series each piece can stand alone. I took a bit of liberty by attaching a few pieces to the world of rock and roll. Once you see them you will see the connection.

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 is in reaction to Climate Change. I want each piece to stand on its own as art in your home but I also want it to be thoughtful.
HOME IS HOME AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOT series
What is the difference between house and home?
Home is an idea while a house is the manifestation of this idea. A house cannot be a home because there is only one true “home” in each individual’s life.
Home symbolizes the nostalgia of original place.

The glass floats (1844 to 1910) that fishermen use for their nets originated in Bergen, Norway and then the last people to use them were the Japanese fishermen.
Now they mostly use plastic ones. You can still find the odd one on the island of Guam in the South Pacific as that is where the currents will take them.
The glass like the plastic won’t decompose. I honoured both countries with their coins added to the piece.

Clay pipes are a common find especially in English or Dutch riverbeds. They were one use and thrown away at the end of the day.
In 1558 tobacco was introduced by native Americans and in 1573 the first clay pipe was made. By 1914 they disappeared due to cigars, cigarettes and briar pipes. The pipes can be dated by size and style.
If you do the math you know how long the pipes have been in the river beds without decomposing.
