Accessories – Denver
When I was a child my mother had cigar box that she'd decoupaged in high school, and it was those little vignettes of love-child imagery, preserved in yellowed gloss that started my love affair with collage. The pieces I make now are a culmination of decades of that enthusiasm combined with a passion for fashion, and years spent experimenting with different techniques and materials. My work combines traditional collage techniques with digital imagery. By piecing together bits from multiple images I have the freedom to realize any creative vision I have. I also like to experiment with glitter, metal leaf, and other materials that add a touch of sparkle to each piece. After perfecting each collage I turn the artwork into handmade accessories using a unique process that renders objects d'art that are beautifully finished and of excellent quality. My pendants are hung from chains or beaded necklaces and are often embellished with repurposed findings My goal in all of this is to inspire flights of fancy, whimsical smiles, devious delight, lascivious thoughts, and musings of all kinds.
