Process is primal. There’s the hunt through thrift-store Reader’s Digests, the ritual of slicing out a perfect Dick Tracy smirk, the glue-stick haze of rearranging a world that once made sense. No rules—just instinct. A collage might whisper with delicate lace-cut botanicals from a Better Homes & Gardens spread, or scream with jagged Mad Magazine caricatures. Sometimes, the paper itself rebels: foxed edges of a Look magazine bleed sepia into a Silver Surfer panel, aging the future. Why does it endure? Because every clipping carries with it history and memories. A 1972 perfume ad isn’t just a image—it’s a cultural fossil. Collage exhumes these ghosts and forces them to haunt new narratives. In an age of digital overload, its analog grit feels radical. A reminder that art isn’t just made—it’s salvaged.

As a collage artist, I work with the forgotten remnants of our visual culture—mid-century magazine pages, weathered book illustrations, vintage advertisements—and reassemble them into new narratives. Each piece begins as an excavation, uncovering images that once held meaning in their original context, then granting them renewed purpose through careful composition.

There’s an alchemy to this process. A 1950s department store advertisement, when placed beside a fragment of a Renaissance engraving, takes on entirely new resonance. The glossy sheen of a 1970s fashion spread contrasts with the matte texture of an old dictionary page, creating a tactile dialogue between eras. These juxtapositions aren’t arbitrary; they’re visual conversations about time, memory, and the way we construct meaning from fragments.

My work appeals to collectors who appreciate both craftsmanship and concept. Each collage is a one-of- one artifact, hand-cut and composed using only original printed materials—no digital reproductions. The imperfections are intentional: the slight yellowing of a page’s edge, the faint impression of text on the reverse side. These details remind us that these images lived before this composition, and will continue evolving in the viewer’s imagination.

This is art that rewards closer inspection. The longer you look, the more connections emerge between
elements that were never meant to coexist—until now.

I am currently still accepting commissions for this year.
