"In addition to drawing, I grew up always collecting. Being a third grader collecting marbles and Garbage Pail Kids to the thrift store enthusiast I had become by high school led, perhaps inevitably, to a marriage of my artwork and my junk. Many times, my process begins by making a collection, sometimes over the course of years, and playing with possible combinations of objects until I find something that works for me. An overarching theme to my decisions is to relate back to painting. That informs and gives structure to my direction."
