Collage
Collage (from the French: coller, "to glue";[1] French pronunciation: [kɔ.laʒ]) is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
The term collage was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art.

The paintings undergo several transformations
before I finally achieve a pleasing composition.

This group of paintings is influenced
by my love of texture and the color red.
In this series the color red represents joy and
carries the theme of rhapsody throughout the pieces.

In these collages I play with shapes and lines
