Gallery wrapped canvas, canvas panels, cigar boxes, old drawers, and hardwood are just a few of the many foundations for the base of my artwork.  You may find layers of paints, chalks, charcoal and colored pencils, original & reproduction circa 1800 and early 1900 papers from books, letters, ledger pages, sheet music, postcards, receipts, checks, newspapers, photographs and more.   However, the piece would not be complete without vintage elements such as keys, ribbons, buttons, anagrams, words and phrases taken from books, and various other trinkets and keepsakes.
