Portfolio > Socio-Political paintings and collage

I’m drawn to the media of collage because I enjoy the tangibility of working with different types of materials. The handling of varied surface textures, along with the fluidity of oil paint inspires me to express myself precisely and creatively. Experiences and events continually propel my sensibilities and influence content and subject matter which most often is social/political in nature.
