My collage work emerged from the necessity to find complementary imagery for prepared copy. Finding visually pleasing and impactful imagery was often difficult given the restraints of stock imagery. By combining elements of stock, public domain, and available graphics, I was able to produce one-of-a-kind collages that directly represented the source material. The ultimate goal of my collage work is to celebrate creativity, humanity, and the diversity of cultures, ideas, races, and points of view.
