Art on Saturdays: Doorway Collage with Felicite Grogan

In this workshop you will create a collage of a single doorway using hand-painted papers. You'll learn composition techniques to arrange your hand-cut elements effectively, transforming them into a striking doorway artwork unique to your style. The session focuses on the artistic process of collage and incorporates the principles of visual composition.

About the Artist:

Felicite Grogan is a collage and mixed media artist, located in Baranduda. She is inspired by nature; everything from her backyard pot plants to the landscapes surrounding the Albury-Wodonga region. She is a local educator who enjoys sharing her passion for art with people of all ages.

Felicite uses mixed media to create her artworks, endeavouring to find the right medium and tool to produce the effect she's aiming for. When working in collage, she hand-paints papers in watercolour and acrylic, creating a variety of textures. She then hand-cuts the shapes required and assembles them to achieve the final composition, using ink and pencil to add detail to the work.
