I create collages from paper, colored pencil, marker, pastel, paint, chalk, tape, and my photographs. My style in both collage and photography is realism, but there's something askew about it. I call it enchanted realism, located at the intersection of dreams and reality.
I've been influenced by Henri Rousseau, who set out to reproduce the world photographically and ended up creating a world of enchantment, and by Romare Bearden, Andre Kertesz, other visual artists, and writers and musicians. See my artwork in the Gallery. I also write fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, some of which has been published in literary journals and anthologies. Shanti Press published three children's books that I wrote and illustrated, and I composed several pieces for solo piano. See information on my writing and music in Publications.
