I have been making abstract collage mixed media collages and the front piece
on my site which is a relief of leaves using toilet paper, board, glue, gesso,
acrylic and antiqued with oil paint.
I try to produce about 6-8 works a year and I have been doing the work with
students all along as a demonstration. I will shortly put some of those up on
my site as a spotlight on me and my demonstration pieces. I love mixed media
and that is why I tend to do it in my classroom and why I am presenting at the
National convention showing these mixed media works.
I am also trying to join a printmaking society to get me to produce
collograph for the public and be in their shows. I look forward to retirement to be
able to do this a lot more.
