Hello, and thanks for visiting! I am a photographer and collage artist residing in Southern Indiana. I specialize in conceptual portraits, embroidered photographs and mixed media collage. I find joy creating something new out of orphaned photos, books, old letters, junk mail, maps and postcards, etc. I have a soft spot for items that would have otherwise been discarded. Weekly, I can be found nosing around flea markets and thrift stores for old photographs, crusty books, yellowed magazines, etc. Creating is therapy for me, I’m happiest at my table, covered in papers and photos, scissors and glue, ready to make a new piece.

My work has been exhibited in virtual and local exhibitions and art galleries. I’ve recently returned from an intensive collage art residency in Sanquhar, Scotland. My most recent solo art exhibit was “Pieces of Yesterday” at the Rumjahn Gallery in Evansville, IN (July 2023). I’ve been published in Photo Trouvee Magazine’s Echoes of Yesterday book and The Mini Collage Collective’s 2023 Look Book. I’m also featured in Piece By Piece, a collage scrap exchange book by Kelly Schaub, available on Amazon. I sell my work online and locally, at art fairs and festivals. I’m also jumping into teaching collage workshops, follow my Instagram (icon at bottom) for the details.

other stuff: I’m a fine art, wedding and portrait photographer, a big fan of all things cats and kittens, cheese fanatic, thrifting nut, flea market monkey, history buff, foodie, true crime tv nerd, cemetery creeper, professional doofus and RuPaul’s Drag Race superfan. I live in Evansville with my partner, the artist Gary Logan Hobdy and two very spoiled and ungrateful cats.
