Introduction:
IT ALL STARTED WITH A SILLY DUCK ON A TRICYCLE
This was a mechanical metal toy that, when its key was wound, propelled itself hilariously across the floor, an oversized propeller spinning on the top of its pointed red-and-yellow hat.
In time, long after I’d passed it on to a friend who'd fallen in love with it, I rediscovered the box it came in, with a glossy, brightly colored photo of Ducky on each side.
For some reason, I had the impulse to cut out one of the photos and set it into an equally eccentric landscape. But alas, colored pencils (my preferred medium at the time) faded into drab in comparison with the richly saturated hues of the box illustrations.
But wait, I thought, what about this bright-colored greeting card? And that wrapping paper? And the brilliant scene from a travel magazine in the day’s mail?
And thus was born a piece of artwork called Ducky Takes a Ride, and a love affair with all of life’s colorful flat-paper images—magazines, calendars, catalogs, wrapping paper, postcards, greeting cards—they’re everywhere.
I proceeded to immerse myself in the art of the collage.
Not long ago, a friend called to ask me if there was anyplace (besides my studio walls) where another collage artist she’d met could see my work.
Well now there is.
