Artist Statement
Each unique piece starts with a cover that I love and that speaks to me. Next, I research that specific magazine’s archives to see what is available in its original form, and what would go well together.
Researching and sourcing are how my work begins. Arranging the covers according to themes, people, years, moods or color tone is my next challenge. That process can never be rushed. The composition has to be perfectly balanced and pleasing to the eye.
The final product is an homage to the past, a nostalgic appreciation of what once was fresh off the press.
