Southwest Abstractions: Collage

Robert Motherwell once said, "Collage is the greatest 20th century innovation." These works in collage incorporate found materials -- snippets of vintage maps, postcards, postage stamps, menus -- memorabilia from our travels, often combined with fragments of my watercolors and well as beautiful handmade papers.  Click on each of the works to see the full image.
