MINDFUL COLLAGE

Let Creativity Bloom!

Collage allows for spontaneous and layered work that can be beautiful, personally meaningful and is fun and easy to do. We will work with a wide assortment of colored and textured art papers, scraps of paintings, old book pages, and whatever personal items you choose to add. I will lead a short guided meditation to provide cues to help us focus and get started, materials for inspiration and also share ideas about process, composition, color and design.

I have been a working and exhibiting artist for 40 years. I paint, often from photos, using my art to tell stories. As a graphic designer, I help not-for-profits and businesses get their stories out. I have incorporated collage in handmade books and multi-layered paintings.

As a longtime meditator I find awareness of my breath to be very helpful in creating art. I was a member of The Girl Artists, a collaborative group whose archives have recently been acquired by The Smithsonian Archives of American Art. I am currently at work on a graphic memoir in paintings and stories about the AIDS crisis years.
