Contemporary Analogue Collage Art

Collage begins with something simple: paper scissors and glue.

I work by cutting and rearranging found images to form new meanings and narratives. Rooted in my love of found imagery and photography its a direct intuitive process, a way of thinking through making.

I am drawn to the act of breaking images apart and letting them shift into something unexpected when placed back together.

I spend time paging through old books and magazines searching for shapes textures and photographs that begin to speak to each other. The process is guided by instinct rather than planning.

What draws me most to collage is its unpredictability - you never fully know what will emerge until the composition settles into place.

Limited Edition Fine Art Prints

My recent practice has focused primarily on figurative collage. A selected body of these original paper works is now available as limited edition fine art prints.

Each collage artwork is released in a strictly limited edition of five. Printed on museum-grade archival cotton paper, the prints preserve the quiet textures, layered histories, and subtle tonal shifts of the original handmade work.

Created to be framed, gifted, or lived with, these editions are produced with care to honour both material quality and artistic intention.

Custom sizes can be arranged, and professional framing is available on request.
