Unique

"As a collage and assemblage artist, my unique books are an extension of my work in mixed media .... Evidence of Extended Vacations is a sci-fi trip through New York City, utilizing collage and copies of vintage postcards ... a kind of nostalgic 'having a great time, wish you were here' message to outer space."
