Art That Asks a Question

I create collages that invite us into the questions that make us human.

​

Every piece begins with fragments—not only of images, but of memory, wonder, grief, joy, faith, and hope. Bringing those fragments together is how I explore the Great Mystery we all share.

​

My journey as an artist began in an unexpected way. During the pandemic, after thyroid cancer surgery, I felt fragile and uncertain. I started coloring postcards—one each day—and mailing them to friends and family. It became a simple ritual of connection, a way of saying, "I'm still here. We are still here."

​

Soon afterward came a season of profound loss. My mother, my father, and one of my sisters all died within a matter of months.

​

As I struggled to make sense of grief—and watched a world that often felt increasingly divided—I felt called to create something larger, something that could hold what words alone could not.

PowerPoint became my canvas.

​

Layer by layer, fragments found new relationships, unexpected meanings, and conversations I never could have planned. What began as a way of surviving became a way of seeing. Each collage became an invitation to slow down, to wonder, and to discover beauty hidden within brokenness.

​

My work explores love and loss, faith and doubt, identity and belonging, darkness and light. I don't create to resolve these tensions. I create because they are what make us human.

​

Spiritually, I have always been drawn to the mystics, mythology, archetypes, and the liminal spaces where certainty gives way to mystery. My collages are portals into those places—not because they provide answers, because they encourage deeper questions.

​

Like life itself, my work continues to evolve.

​

I sometimes return to a collage months or even years later and change it. I don't see this as revising the past. I see it as honoring the truth that we are never the same person twice. My artwork is living work because I am a living person.

​

This is why I describe my creations as Art That Asks a Question.

​

Every collage begins with curiosity rather than certainty.

 

I don't expect viewers to see what I see. My hope is that they will discover something I never imagined. That's when the conversation truly begins.

​

I don't create to explain the Great Mystery.

 

I create to keep the conversation alive.

​

If one of these collages invites you to pause, wonder, or see your own life a little differently, then the conversation continues.
