I truly believe that collage is imperative to learning more about composition, color, texture, design, and more. Not only does it develop your technical skills of creating harmonious, balanced pieces but it unlocks our intuitive nature and allows themes, symbols, and messages to arise in our work. It can serve as a playground for exploring imagery and juxtaposition but it can also stir our imagination, prompting new ideas, concepts, and styles.

The best part of collage is that EVERYONE can do it! No need for drawing or painting experience. Just grab your glue, some collage images, old magazines, vintage ephemera, and your scissors to begin this journey!

I hope you enjoy this magical process.
