I HAVE BEEN USING COLLAGE IN MY ART SINCE I WAS YOUNG. I ATTENDED THE SCHOOL OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON, WHERE I TOOK ANY COLLAGE CLASSES OFFERED. FROM THESES CLASSES, I DISCOVER I HAD A GREAT PASSION FOR COLLAGE. IT OPENED MY EYES TO SEE IMAGERY IN A NEW WAY. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS I'VE BEEN OPENING OTHERS TO THE WORLD OF COLLAGE. MANY PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ART FORM IS, OR UNDERSTAND THE INTRICATE NATURE OF THE WORK. FOR MANY, IT LOOKS LIKE IMAGES ON A SURFACE, BUT FOR ME ITS MUCH MORE. I TRY TO DISPLAY MY WORK AS MUCH AS I CAN. I'VE HAD WORK SHOWN AT THE GALLERY OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ART IN BOSTON. I SUBMITTED WORK TO AN AUCTION, FOR ATZUM, AN ORGANIZATION, BENEFITING VICTIMS OF TERRORISM. I'VE SHOWN WORK AT WHOLE FOODS MARKET IN WEST HOLLYWOOD AND ALSO CURRENTLY SHOWING WORK IN SAN FRANCISCO. I HAVE TWO SHOWS IN THE NEXT MONTH. ONE AT GALLERY SOUL IN ECHO PARK, WHERE I WILL BE ON DISPLAY WITH TWO OTHER ARTISTS. THE SECOND, AT THE EASTSIDE ARTWALK IN SILVERLAKE. I ENJOY ALL FORMS OF ART, BUT COLLAGE AND PHOTOGRAPHY ARE MY CAREER. IN THE MAINSTREAM WORLD COLLAGE IS A DYING ART FORM, BUT I HOPE TO CHANGE THAT IN THE FUTURE.
