“I was introduced to found poetry in 2014 and it has been an unabated love affair since then. I enjoy finding my "voice" in a source text and manipulating it in order to render the original into something new. By using a variety of source materials such as novels, poems, magazines, movie quotes, and more, I play with language and re-contextualize how I see what I see. I also enjoy collage and creating abstract pieces from time to time. When these two interests meet, it's a match made in heaven!”
