After having a productive career as an illustrator/designer and art director, I decided to expand my artistic pursuits creating found object art, collages and altered books. When combining these methods I create found object dolls and interesting sculptures. I love working the traditional way, using my hands and manipulating my found objects by touching and feeling. This process is my preference to work, not on the computer which seems to be the trend today of many artists. Antique and thrift shops are great source for my supplies and materials as well as my own collection of objects.The search is as much fun as is the creation of my art. The reinvention of discarded objects gives me great pleasure.
