"My creative process is very intuitive. I typically collage in a burst of energy, without much of a game plan.

I'm surrounded with decades worth of source material that I can grab from without slowing down to think. For me, it's all about happy accidents."

"I recently transitioned to being a full-time artist, so my days are much more satisfying. I no longer live with the constant frustration of juggling day-job and art-hobby.

It's been a bit of an adjustment, and I've had to work on staying focused throughout the day. It's a balance of creating some structure without stifling creativity."

"My work has mostly been focused on form. I'm inspired by the beauty of a perfect curve. It could be a hand-crafted vessel, a Henry Moore sculpture, or an art model in my studio.

I collage with this in mind. I sculpt with a knife, cutting shapes to form mass."

"In my early days of collaging, I found that the medium was not always taken as seriously as other more traditional forms of art making. However, I stuck with it because I felt so comfortable in that space, and it was an extremely rewarding and therapeutic means of expression for me.

Now, several decades on, I can say that collage is definitely having a moment. I like to think that I played a part in its recent renaissance."

"Over time, I've developed a unique style of collaging. Mostly due to my lack of patience and a case of raging ADHD.

The overall aesthetic of my work is raw and expressionistic, with a frenetic energy that showcases my hand. This has helped me get my work noticed."

"I stumbled upon collage early in my career. I was just out of school and was illustrating a monthly column in a music magazine. Printmaking was my medium at the time, however, the labor-intensive element was becoming an issue.

On the eve of a deadline, with no time to get to the printshop, I started cutting up old prints and immediately fell in love with the results. Since then, it has been my medium of choice."
