#The100DayProject was the catalyst for rediscovering collage, my favorite medium as a teen. I started with leftover scrapbook paper and eventually expanded to creating my own collaging papers from found papers around my house in classroom using gel plates. I cut my teeth on various Instagram challenges and then began expanding into self-portrait and broader reaching series:
- Life Cycle of Public Education (butterflies)
- Mamas’ Gardens
- Pop-out Florals
- Blue Portraits (live collage)
- Collage Jewelry
Artist Amigas
I commemorated special moments featuring some fellow artists from the Spain with Sari artist retreat in June, 2022 with 5″ x 7″ mixed media collages.
Collage Landscapes
Landscapes from local scenes and my travels abroad.
Self Portraits
Reflections on the 20 years of my teaching career using student papers, school documents, and other pieces from my classroom.
Challenge collages
Some of my favorite Instagram challenges were #PlantPaintChallenge, #WildlifePaintChallenge, #StillLifePaintChallenge, and #februllage. Several are still available in my Square shop.
