My mixed media paintings / collages reflect my interest in the physicality of objects, their “thingness”: textures, shapes, colors. Regardless of the series, message, or symbolism, my work includes a variety of traditional media and found objects. In the tradition of Picasso’s collages and Duchamp’s found objects, the stuff of my art is likely to be "ropa usada" or other man-made discards or the discards of nature.

Other art history also influences my art:

• Renaissance linear perspective and the Renaissance concept of the picture plane as a window to the world with its
perceived depth and space; and
• Baroque compositions that spill towards us from the picture plane.

In the series "Doors and Windows" I use the ubiquitous window envelope: I see an everyday object; I visualize how it can be used in a collage; I transform it into the representation of some other thing: window envelopes are doors, blue jean fabric is sky, and cat whiskers are pull cords for window shades.
