Bench Seats and Broken Hearts
Mixed Media Collage, 20" x 20". This piece reflects on the quiet erosion of personal and collective memory. The piece overlays the worn body of an old truck — once a symbol of mobility, freedom, and connection — with the fading image of a young couple, seated together in a simpler time. As the truck’s tires sag and its frame rusts away, so too do the moments and ideals it once carried.
Colleen Drive-In
Mixed Media Collage, 20" x 20". This is where we stopped for the best hot dogs and fries on the way to visit my grandmother. I love how a kitschy roadside stand became a vessel for personal history and memories. Time bends, but some things—fries, friendship, and soft-serve dreams—stay steady.
In His Own Orbit
Mixed Media Collage, 20" x 20". This piece is about tuning out the noise, choosing separateness. One figure walks away calmly while the world spins wildly behind him, representing how we sometimes set boundaries for our emotions. It’s about finding peace in your own space.
Beneath the Surface
Mixed Media Collage, 12" x 12". The swirling, translucent shapes mimic water, suggesting that time, like the sea, distorts, carries, and reshapes what we remember. The mechanical form hints at containment and pressure—those societal or psychological forces that shape women’s lives—but also protection, a capsule of history. This piece is a meditation on remaining tethered by friendship and memory.
