Artist Statement: "I was introduced into the Art World at an early age when I spent hours in the Boston Public Library in the diorama rooms enacting scenes of history. Along with that, both my parents being artists themselves exposed me to museums where I explored galleries along with the works of Marcel Duchamp and collage works by Joseph Cornell. Always having a fascination with the spiritual works of nature and mysterious musings of fantasy worlds created during the Victorian era, I began to explore my art with collage boxes made of found objects at The Museum School of Fine Arts, Boston in 1995. During several moves I started collecting images from old postcards dating from the Victorian Era of Enlightenment along with etchings of animals and science journals. Using these images I began to build imaginary scenes of fantasy worlds where humans and animals coexist on an astral plane. Tiny Box World Series is a place where imagination, spirituality and nature collide to create a world of musings and respite from daily existence."
