If we start from the beginning, since a young age, rummaging around at garage sales with my dad in Minneapolis, I have loved old vintage things tossed aside. The colors, imagery, and typography of vintage print materials catching my young eye. Today most of my work incorporates images from the 1950s. I like putting these old images into new painted contexts. Telling a new story out of their old one. I am drawn to the whimsical nature that this collaboration creations. Fabric, buttons, and scraps make thier way into many of my pieces, all hand-stiched. 
  I work mainly in multi-medium collage with an emphasis in acrylic and print materials. In 2012, my heart got pulled into the ragphic design world where I have started to play and reassemble in a whole new way. Check out all of my albums, as my style ranges and changes (as do I myself).

I create both pieces of my own imagination as well as custom work, based on a collaborate process with the customer.
