2011-12-06T16:34:00.001-08:00

These new piece’s I have created are all made using collage. This could be a special gift for your sibling, mother or father, your child, grandparent, spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend, cousin, aunt or uncle. Pretty much anyone you would consider special.

These pieces are all unique in their own way. Even though they might come across as abstract these pieces resemble a heart. That heart represents passion, love and beauty. It’s something truly personal that your loved ones can hang on their wall or just display and can be admired year round.

These new pieces have room for you to write inside. These piece come in a protective plastic sleeve. They all come in a set of 3.

This is a new piece in progress I'm working on. For this piece I actually went out and took paper from a wall three blocks away from where I live.

I'm always adding textures, spray paint its a process. This piece is going to be apart of a group show in June in San Francisco. Once I finish with the piece I will post new images.
