In May 2025, I was honored to be selected for The London Collage Project—a residency hosted by Les Jones, publisher of Contemporary Collage Magazine, and mentored by renowned collage artist Cecil Touchon. Over the course of a week, I joined 17 other talented collage artists from around the world, each bringing unique perspectives and styles. All of the paper used in my work was either purchased or discovered throughout London, creating a direct link between the art and the city. The residency offered time, space, and inspiration to experiment and collaborate, culminating in an exhibition in the artistic neighborhood of Hackney Wick. It was an unforgettable opportunity to grow within a vibrant, international creative community.
