I'm an artist based in St. Paul with an extensive career in video, film, and photography. This website introduces my photo collage work in three recent and distinct portfolios.

​

 My practice begins with curiosity and a sense of wonder.  I believe the purpose of making something is to reveal what it is, or could be, at heart center.  I want to be amazed and motivated by the thrill of discovery.

In this portfolio of new collages a single photograph is fragmented and repeated. The images are rooted in photography yet resemble painterly puzzles.
