CLASSIC TRADITIONS - Collage on Canvas

CLASSIC TRADITIONS

Collage - 8x10 canvas

Purchase Info

CLASSIC TRADITIONS is a mixed media collage using an eclectic mix of papers, images and stitching mounted on an 8x10x1/2 inch canvas. Images were carefully selected to create a unique piece of art invoking a feeling of old fashioned traditions. Random stitching was added to the collage along with an old button and the final piece was mounted on burlap and a gallery wrapped canvas that was covered in hand painted tissue paper. 

The final piece is ready to display by hanging on a wall, propped on a shelf or placed on a small easel.

I love playing with shapes in my semi-abstract paintings. Different shapes bring different emotions. Sharp angles feel bold and structured, soft curves give a sense of flow, movement and calm while geometric shapes create stability. By experimenting with composition, size, repetition and layering of shapes you can create a very dynamic piece of art.

Mixed Media Collage - 12x12x1.5 in canvas

Purchase Info

I love using odds and ends of papers as a background for my mixed media work. The scraps of paper with flowers, musical notes and handwriting add an instant feeling of texture, depth and a sense of history to the artwork. 

Then I use acrylic paint to blend edges, stamp designs and add color. For the final layer I like to add pieces of lace, fabric, and photos to finish the composition.
