My work is about memory; we save mementos of events in an attempt to document something deep and personal with a tangible thing that serves as a reminder, lest we forget. When my mother passed, I discovered all of her walls had turned into wall-scapes, covered with ephemera.  She had attached cards, news items, photos and more. What I saw transformed my art practice.  I've been experimenting with this medium for several years, creating abstract impressions created from books and ephemera.  I work with  color, texture and movement with an emphasis on narrative with a result of  image/word poems.
