I have been fascinated with order and organization my entries life. When I add color to that mix, I am in heaven. My color collages and paintings are intended to be orderly. I believe in chaos theory and that everything from our veins and vessels to the trees and mountains is patterned.  I revel in the fact that color can be ephemerally orderly and in pointing that out through abstraction. In my latest work, I begin with a limited palette and work from an image or memory of a landscape  and from the emotions those colors evoke. For me these torn paper collages reflect a person’s outer environment or inner harmony. I work loosely or literally from the grid.
