Number 7 at Mercantile Home
I was invited to contribute seven of my vintage optician lens necklaces and seven collaborative collage prints and the original collaborative book to a group exhibit called Number 7 at Mercantile Home, in Easton, PA. It opens September 3 and runs through November 1. The other work in the show looks fantastic, particularly that of [...]

A crappy photo of a new collage. I try to find things other than my work to photograph for this daily photo thing, but I was a slacker during the day and didn’t take any photos. There was a nice sunset in the evening, but I was distracted by working on this [...]

Sunday May 31, 2009.
D. and I saw the Cezanne and Beyond art exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I had been pretty unenthusiastic about seeing this particular show and really wasn’t going to bother but then I renewed our membership and the tickets were free, so why not? It was pretty nice I guess, [...]
Emmanuel Polanco
I recently discovered the work of Emmanual Polanco, a French artist who makes amazing collages.
DailyPhoto 02-21-09 (old stuff)
Saturday February 21, 2009.
Today my mom and I went through a giant pile of things I had left in their basement. Mostly old artwork- a lot from art school, but also some from high school and even elementary school. This is a woodcut that I know I made in Mr. Adams’ evening art class, so [...]
Works in progress, 02-07-09
This morning I finally got to sit down and do some work for a couple of hours. It was one of those times of utter contentment, I felt really focused and I made progress on a couple of little paintings that had been frustrating me for a while. I had some nice tea with lemon [...]
About-Words
I have started keeping a list of words that represent ideas or images that I would like to explore in my art (or even just words that interest me for some reason). Some of them are things that I already include in my work on a regular basis, and some are new. I think I’ve [...]
Alison & Jen Book 2
These images are from the second of a series of collaborative collage books made by Alison Corrie and I. I made the book by hand (accordion format), and then we took turns adding to it- collage, paint, drawing, whatever- building on each other’s work.

Digital Collage
Digital collages are created in Photoshop, combining digital photography with scanned paintings, drawings, and ephemera. See more here.
R8 Series Digital Collages
Here are the first two images in what I hope will be a whole series based on photos taken from the R8 train. When the weather gets a bit nicer, I have plans to ride the whole line from start to finish, taking photos at each stop.
Air Lines
I love this art project- Air Lines. To quote from the website: “Air Lines is an art project showing worldwide airliner routes. Every single scheduled flight on any given day is reresented by a fine line from it’s point of origin to it’s port of destination. Thereby forming a net of thousands of lines. Hubs [...]
Xray
This book is from my 1998 semester in Rome. One day the “Sketchbook” class I was taking met at the professor’s studio. There was a huge trunk of materials left there by the previous occupant of the studio, and she told us we could take whatever we wanted. I found a book with clear plastic [...]
The Lost Ship
This book is from 1999 and started out as a hardcover book about sailing ships. I ended up rebinding it after its original binding fell apart. Selected pages here:
Silver
This was a tiny book that started out as a promotional booklet for a Roman clothing store. The etchings were added much later.
Roma
From 1998, semester in Rome. This can only loosely be described as a book since I never figured out a good way to bind the series of loose pages and ended up storing them in a box. I like that the order is not fixed. Here are some selected pages:
