I have been creating collages since 2013. I didn’t see myself as an artist. I was simply a woman with Parkinson’s who was using collage as an exercise for the brain and muscles. I didn’t know that I would enjoy this art form as much as I do or that I would find a voice through collage.
 

Inspiration comes from many sources -- people, nature, life as it happens. Trees are a recurring theme in my collages and have been from the beginning. Sometimes when I am in need of inspiration, I hunt down poems that create strong images in my mind. 

I have always been drawn to art that tells me a story. Romare Bearden’s collages are inspiring, Matisse’s cutouts make me happy, and I love the work of Kara Walker. 

 

That’s enough about me. Hope you enjoy my creations.

Why is there no "buy" button?

​

The one good thing Parkinson's has given me is my art. I am not interested in the business side of art. If you would like a print, contact me. All I ask is that you make a donation to a local or national organization that supports people with movement disorders.

 

Thanks!
