GEISHA WITH BIRD AND VASE - mixed media collage 3" x 3" centered on 7.5" x 7.5" 300# watercolor paper with deckled edges. The tissue background was prepared with green acrylic paints. Gold foil draws attention to the geisha’s dress, tree leaves, and vase. |
The focus of my work has been creating diminutive mixed media collages 3” x 3” centered on 7.5” x 7.5” 300# watercolor paper with deckled edges. They exhibit a whimsical or nostalgic focus, using acrylic paints, copper/ gold/ silver foils, found images, sheet music, dried natural materials, postage stamps, feathers, street detritus, magazine photographs, handmade paper, tissue and variety papers, Japanese paste papers, and watercolor papers.
