Materials are in their original form, gleaned from magazines and books. Cut and paste of a delicate imperfect nature.<\/p>\n<p>Think kindergarten art, but I drink grownup hot stuff while making it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2001, I started Local Wisdom Cards, a greeting card company of my collage art. My son, who was fourteen at the time, sold his electric guitar to pay for the first printing. Starting with six designs, I began by selling them in a couple of local shops and the farmer&#8217;s market in my hometown of Stowe, Vermont.<\/p>\n<p>Twelve years later, Local Wisdom Cards have been sold in over seven hundred brick-and-mortar stores and museums.\u00a0In April 2013, I sold Local Wisdom Cards and moved to the ocean with my love to begin living the life I have portrayed in my art.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ARTIST CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"mailto:onthebackoftheboat@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click to email<\/a>]<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/thebackoftheboat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.etsy.com\/shop\/thebackoftheboat<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>IMAGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1449\" alt=\"sunshine and shadows by Kathleen Sawyer\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/01-web.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/01-web.jpg 700w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/01-web-300x208.jpg 300w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/01-web-210x146.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>sunshine and shadows<\/em><br \/>\n3.75&#8243;x5.5&#8243;;\u00a0recycled books and magazines, archival glue, tango board; 2013<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1450\" alt=\"to pieces by Kathleen Sawyer\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/02-web.jpg\" width=\"525\" height=\"549\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/02-web.jpg 525w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/02-web-286x300.jpg 286w, http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/02-web-210x219.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>to pieces<\/em><br \/>\n5&#8243;x7&#8243;;\u00a0recycled books and magazines, archival glue, artist panel; 2012<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sedgwick, Maine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1451,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[8],"tags":[71],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/03-web.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2BNTD-nm","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
