I am an analog collage artist residing in Washington, DC. My work explores societal constraints and my own emotional world through carefully manicured, quietly poetic collages. The process of making analog collages is a therapeutic and calming practice in my life, a slow ritual that grounds me. The unpredictable path collage takes you on is what I enjoy most about this medium: while I choose the pieces, the image becomes a puzzle that only comes together over time through mistake, adjustment, and patience. Over the last few years my work has shifted away from strict minimalism toward richer colors, greater warmth, and tactile texture. By filling the page with exploration rather than strict precision, I’ve rediscovered a child-like playfulness that stands in deliberate contrast to the constant demand for measurable output and success that often defines everyday life.
