I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.


Take a big bite out of something small!

The dollhouse rooms haven't gone away -- in fact, they're appearing at the Eastside Miniature Show!

On June 5th -- that's the first Saturday in June -- I'll bring some of the rooms I created for the book "Mixed Media Dollhouses." I'll also have some copies of the book for sale after my talks.
I know most dollhouses are a little more... realistic, shall we say, than many of the dollhouse rooms.
Not a lot of flight plans in your usual dollhouse attic. But isn't a dollhouse really a parallel world -- tiny people in a tiny world of their own?
Remember "The Borrowers"? They made their home out of bits they "borrowed" from full-sized humans. We'll talk about how you can create your own version, incorporating family photos and repurposed bits -- you'll be a Borrower and a "borrowed-from." Whoa. That's kinda like having your cake and eating it too.

The Eastside Miniatures Show will be here:


Sons of Norway Hall
23905 Bothell-Everett Highway
Bothell, WA 98011

Click here for directions. And if you bring a friend to the show, I'll put you in the running for a free book!

It's probably not Art, but...

Well, don't look then!
