Jill Allyn Stafford STATEMENT It’s hard for me to characterize my style since I feel like I am constantly evolving and changing. I’d say my work tends more towards the feminine, but with a definite love of line and flow, with somewhat of an urban edge. That being said, I do love creating abstract landscapes as well. My creative process utilizes mostly found paper–sewing patterns, magazines, tissue paper, books, old prints, calendars, etc. Depending on my mood, I either rip the paper; or I create very fine cuts using small, sharp scissors. I use acrylic matte medium as my binding agent, and an acrylic gloss medium as a top coat. I prefer working on either wood panels, or heavy watercolor paper. BIO I am a self-taught collage artist based out of Sacramento, California. While I stopped creating art as a child, I started again in my early 30’s after my children were born. I felt the need to communicate visually, and collage was the perfect avenue. I started showing my work about 6 years ago, and have been in numerous group shows in local galleries as well as in galleries in New York, Oregon, and Manchester (UK).
