I’ve been working on something a little different I’m excited to share!

I am pleased to introduce the “Back to Nature” Series! These will make wonderful sets, or choose your favorite and it will make a fabulous statement on it’s own.

Experiments in Recycled Abstraction

Many days after long hours in the studio, I have gathered up the paper scraps on the floor and admired how interesting and beautiful the shapes and colors were. There were always the pieces I couldn’t bring myself to sweep away. So the big box of scraps started, and built over the years!

When I collage, I make different things out of paper that don’t always work. Just yesterday I made about 12 blue leaves that didn’t fit where thought they would, so those go in another box!
I always knew I would do something with the “left-overs”, I just couldn’t place when or how. That’s what I love about Art, it mimics life. There are those boxes of things that we hold on to, that we know are important or will play a roll in our future, but we just don’t always know how or why.

We are attracted to them, and compile them, for many different reasons. In fact, there are scraps in the boxes I have looked at so many times over the years, that I grew attached to them!

The impetus came when my Aunt Belle, who knows I love Matisse, visited his “Cut-Outs” show currently on exhibit at the MOMA in New York, sent a portfolio of some of these works as a gift. Inspired, I finally gave myself the time to experiment, and to trust an intuitive flow of ideas and decisions on color, balance and compositions of my own.

It’s a joyful and freeing experience to work in this way, and I hope the feelings I had while creating them, comes through. A little random playfulness…and pure joy!
