STATEMENT:

I am a mixed media collage artist with a disability. I often like to focus on disability in my work through a societal and cultural lens. Collage, as the art of putting materials and images together to create a new and different whole, is a fitting medium for this subject. I collect images relating to a specific topic from a variety of sources and then add and layer them into a composition, often adding color throughout the process with gel sticks and other mediums. I combine bold bright colors with graphic images to immerse the viewer in my concept and give them something new to see. By doing this, I hope to challenge societal norms and stereotypes.

DESCRIPTIONS:

American Woman
On a yellow background, a woman with a brown complexion, straight nose, and full lips sits in a white patio arm chair with a power chair base. On the back of the chair, partially obscured by the woman, are the words Access America in red. She wears large sunglasses, and a blue scarf with white polka dots covers her hair. One arm dangles by the left side of the chair; the knuckles of the other hand support her head. Her left leg is bent at the knee and a black and white purse sits on her thigh. She wears a white blazer, navy blue top with gold stars and navy-blue pants. A ribbon with gold stars runs down the pant leg. The left pant leg has large white letters on it: CH C. Text is visible by her right hand: pillow, 11½ x 17 inches, polypropylene, pink, $98, etsy.com.

I Don't Really Wanna Be The Queen
A woman sits in a beige pillow-like seat that rests on a power chair base. She has a pale complexion, a somber expression and very bushy blonde hair. She wears large glasses with dark frames and yellow tinted lenses. An ermine trimmed crown encrusted with gems sits on her head. She wears a yellow, thigh length belted coat and matching scarf. On her feet are caramel colored suede running shoes with white untied laces. One foot hooks behind her bare leg and the other is on the chair’s foot rest. The woman and the chair are outlined in red and the background is a pale blue.

Own It
On a patchy blue background are two women in wheelchairs: one in the foreground, the other on top. In the lower half of the work is a smiling woman with a light tan complexion and dark hair. She sits in a beige, upholstered arm chair mounted on a power chair base. The chair and base are outlined in orange. The smiling woman wears a green floral dress and matching shoes. She has sheer calf length stockings on her crossed legs. One hand extends up over the chair while the other is in her lap. A pillow on her right is decorated with a woman in leopard print and the word Vogue. Above the pillow is the second woman. She also smiles, and has blonde hair and a disproportionately large head. Her wheelchair has red-orange wings. She wears a navy, green and rust striped shirt, jeans and black lace up boots. To the left of the winged woman and over the woman in front is the word FREE.

Disabled Utopia
The background is a jumble of text with an occasionally repeated word: Kevorkian. A woman with light beige complexion and long brown hair sits in a power chair with a huge crocheted flower seat. She wears a short sleeve top and matching shorts of black with a large white plaid. Her legs are bare and her feet are in brown sandals. She holds a bottle of Corona Premier beer that is taller that she is. A wedge of lime sticks from the long neck and tilts toward her mouth. To the right are large letters: Own It. The bottle is outlined in blue; the woman and chair have orange outlines.
