Kurt Schwitters Inspired Collage

Since I love collage so much, I've been reading up on important "collagists" in art history. Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) work caught my eye. He would take everyday ephemara and make them into beautiful collages, a new medium at the time. Schwitters is also credited for his pioneering contribution to installation art and found object artwork.

I took text from magazines and created my own collage reflecting modern day type and advertising.

Evolving Here is another painting I finished in March called "Evolving". At first glance, it just looks like layers of different colors. There is a story behind this: Red layer represents my earlier life with Wiley, Morgan and Parker. Red had always been my favorite color. Some of the collaged papers...

Chaos and Calm I love to etch into a painting to create a story within a painting. It's like unearthing something that wants to come to the surface. This piece represents about choosing to be free of chaos/drama by observing it from your place of serenity.
