Welcome to my Mixed Media and Assemblage Artwork page!

Since I retired, I have been more involved with my photography and my newly discovered passion, mixed media and assemblage art!  Using found objects, trinkets, jewelry, and even some of my own photographs, I have been creating three dimensional artwork and small sculptures.  

I hope you enjoy my one-of-a-kind creations!
