Cairns (stacked rocks) are commonly used as markers to guide hikers along pathways.  My contemporary collages are inspired by my hiking travels across the country. They are an artistic visual representation of guidance, boundaries and direction. A reminder to follow our path, stay balanced in our lives and to work together in unity for a greater cause.

I find my inspiration in the shapes and textures both in nature and modern society.  My hope is to arouse the viewer to contemplate the importance of a symbiotic relationship between nature and the modern world.
