MY HANDMADE COLLAGES

I see collages as an amazing storytelling medium and the opportunities are almost endless. I usually cut out images from magazines or online sources which I print out, using adhesives to put them together by hand. The joy is in seeing how I can create feeling from putting these images together. I see collage making as a therapeutic and empowering means of communication.
