Kolaj #24 Cut Out Page Artist Alison Kurke
Alison Kurke writes, “Cutting, pasting, composing, using different materials are soothing and attention-absorbing pastimes, and collage is perfectly suited to my life-long love of and constant search for paper and ephemera of all types.” Her Cut Out Page appears in in Kolaj #24.

Kurke studied Art History and Classical Civilization in college and Renaissance Painting in grad school. Realizing that she was not academically inclined, she went to work for Sotheby’s as an auctioneer and valuer. Realizing eventually that she hated that, she left and spent several years at Amazon.com in its early (though not earliest) days. Early retirement and mental exhaustion gave her time to study printmaking and bookmaking in Seattle at Pratt. Since 2004, she has been living in Italy in what she calls self-imposed exile. Her Instagram page @kurberry and Flickr site (kurberry) have images of her work.
