I've been doing small 5"x8" for a few years now, and it's been more by intuition or intention on a subject. This time I decided to try to create one by using a photograph and recreating it in a fashion using strips of paper. I saw a photo that Kathleen Jennette posted awhile ago and… Continue reading First Photo Collage

Collage: Two reapers and a castle
The other day I sat down with the boxes of assorted magazine cut-outs, separated by subject (animals, people, landscapes, things) with no idea in mind. I suspended my brain and let intuition pick the pieces. The collage put itself together, a piece at a time. It was too big to scan so I took a… Continue reading Collage: Two reapers and a castle
under the new moon — K.
The wonderfully talented artist/poet, Kerfe Roig, brightens my day with her worldview, as expressed through her art. Please take a moment to enjoy today's offerings from her.
