Let Your Heart Speak

I thoroughly believe that collage is the perfect medium for representing the fractured and fragmented bits of our lives, brought together to form a beautiful and complete picture in a way that allows us to share our stories, either overtly or with subtle design.

My process is intuitive. I come to the table with an open mind and an open heart. Sure, there are some things that need to be determined in advance of the project – what size do I want it to be? What materials will I use? Do I want to mix up my mediums or strictly create with paper and glue? But aside from the technical decision making required to get me started, I’ve learned that my best work comes when I get out of my own way and allow the work to tell me what it wants to be.

It sounds a little obscure and mysterious, but what it all boils down to is giving yourself permission to follow your own creative curiosity to discover that everything you really need to know about creating a great composition is already inside of you.

While I’ve divided this workshop into three distinct technique focused units, with each one offering skills that will enable you to create beautiful works of art from that one technique alone, the flow of this course brings these three processes together to a satisfying and rewarding conclusion.
