Visual Art – Omaha

Art is a part of my everyday life. I look at everything as a possible art piece. I choose many recycled materials for the challenge to make it work. I want to push myself and the viewer to interpret a material in a new way. I have a BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I have been creating art from altered books for the past 3 years, exploring and discovering just how far to take these common materials. Discarded books can appear to be limiting for the artist, but I have not found them so.
