My art making with collage reflects my love of surrealism. In my work I use paper doll elements combined with vintage and new papers, colored pencil and other drawing materials. I enjoy the process collage entails; choosing materials by texture, color and image and finding combinations that achieve resonance. Many of these pieces explore the theme of feminine agency. By using the juxtaposition of time period, social status and race I hope to create images that challenge traditional female stereotypes.
