The collage work I do is related to a series of educational posters that I have been designing for several years. Because art in school classrooms is usually related to lesson topics, I have created posters that focus on themes such as 20th Century Visionaries, Exploration & Discovery, Freedom & Equality and Science & Invention, Faith & Spirituality, Love & Sex, Food & Wine and Writers & Directors. These collage portraits pair an individual with a quotation attributed to them. My intent is to inspire students to dedicate themselves to their own education, using examples of people who have achieved great things by committing themselves to a cause.
