During a time of high stress and anxiety within my hometown of Madison, Wisconsin, I created this collage in hope of publicly displaying it to help ease people's nerves.

Collage on Cardboard cut outs with recycled local publications (Summer 2020)

A Visual Collage of One's Development Throughout Life-Personalized. It is my hope that, in approaching this piece, that others will find elements of themselves that they can use to help gauge what their view of themselves is, how that has been shaped, and what choices they can make in order to begin and or continue manifesting positive experiences of thought and action within their lives.

Collage on Cardboard using local coupon magazines (September 2020)

This is inspired by my aspirations to continue aiming higher with my personal career and artistic goals. At this time, I was seeking to start my own business as an artist, and this piece actually opened doors for me to be able to do so.

Collage on Cardboard cutouts using local recycled publications (June 2020).

I was exploring the options of creating different depths both visually, and spiritually with this piece. This is one of my first wordless collages (Summer 2020)

This is the first piece of art that I created after years of a hiatus. I made this while coming out of homelessness, living out of a motel for several months, and reestablishing a foundation for my personal well being. This piece is close to my heart. The project began because I was reading a lot of books at the time, and I promised one of my close friends that I would make her a bookmark (Summer 2020).

This piece was inspired by my desire to create a piece that speaks to the necessity of loving oneself, and practicing empathy towards other racial groups of people (Early Fall 2020)

Collage using local recycled publications

This piece is very close to my heart. It is the most in depth word filled collage creation of mine that was my first attempt at shaping faces with words. The man and woman in this collage are a representation of the foundation of true love and togetherness during a time of social and political chaos. I made this first piece in my new apartment coming out of homelessness.

Collage using local recycled newspapers and other publications, on top of my first Gibs Pizza box (Summer 2020).

This was the second image that I created using words to forms the shapes and fill in the colors. It is inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, and is meant to encourage people to seek love as the solution to all of life's problems. This is one of my creations fresh out of homelessness (Summer 2020).

Fully appreciating my FoodShare benefits and healthy life choices and habits I had begun forming in my life, I made this collage to represent all of the products and visuals I had been using to rebuild my foundation of self-love and appreciation. Many of these pieces upon the collage are labels from organic products I purchased from local co-ops (Summer 2020).

This is the original Inspirational Bookmark. I want to show the difference in appearance of layering in this piece v. the digital print of the bookmard shown earlier in the gallery.
