In the early 1900s, the modernist avant-garde adopted collage as a medium, making it an integral part of the evolution of modern art.

I look at collage elements as a puzzle which I have to put together, I move collage elements - images and papers; add paint and line work with crayons until I fill that I achieved some harmony and the pieces just feel right together.
