STATEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am drawn to the spontaneity of collage, the cutting, tearing, and gluing of diverse materials, and the arrangement of the selected pieces into unique pieces of art. Allowing the shapes, colors, and textures to inform placement on the page yields unique visual narratives, some whimsical images, and some surreal narratives with unexpected subtexts. My process is simple. I don\u2019t pre-plan a collage. Rather, I scan print magazines or newspapers looking for realistic images that can be deconstructed to form the central focus of the collage. Once found, I ruff cut around the image and then look for images, or shapes with analogous colors, textures, and patterns to cut or tear into organic or geometric shapes that complement the central piece. I move these pieces around the base paper, my preference is linen cardstock, until the disparate pieces fall into place, forming a cohesive whole. The process of selecting pieces, cutting\/tearing, and arranging images and motifs to create a wholly new image is transformative, epistemically and personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life goals do not have a use-by end date. While I planned to have a career in art after college, I found myself, for very practical reasons, teaching. As time went on, the goal of setting up a working studio seemed to end. Spending the next 50 years as an educator teaching in Elementary classrooms, Art classrooms, and Special Education Resources classrooms, I channeled my creativity into my teaching. While I love working with students, meeting the needs of students and district requirements has not allowed much time for working in my home studio. I have, from time to time, completed pieces that were accepted into exhibitions, AHHA in Tulsa, and 50 Penn Place Gallery in OKC to mention two, and several online juried exhibitions but the constraints of meeting the expectations of teaching have not provided time to focus on producing large bodies of work. This summer, I renewed the hope of reviving my original life goal with the production of over 50 pieces of analog collage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
