As a contemporary artist, I am creating montages, which straddle the crossroads between analog and digital, photography and painting, realism and abstraction, fact and fiction, past and present, war and peace.  My work is inspired by places steeped in family memory, enriched by artistic and literary tradition, and central to world history and current events.
