Welcome
These papercuts and paintings are inspired by a love of nature and an understanding of the experience of beauty as transcendental. Nature provides the initial idea and I strive to make the artwork as beautiful as possible.

The Jackpine
Cut Paper Collage
36” x 32”
This cut paper collage was inspired by time spent as a college student working on a longliner out of Sitka, Alaska. The otherworldliness of this image was how it felt to me, a city kid from Philadelphia in the wildness of the Gulf of Alaska. The original collage was made with a variety of papers, both store bought and hand painted. The numbers in the water refer to hours spent reading marine charts.
