I fiddled around with art for about 10 years before finding collage and realizing this was MY medium. They're like hidden pictures for adults; even I get mesmerized by looking for all the gems embedded in the finished works!

I use repurposed paper from innumerable sources - old textbooks, vintage letters, children's books, maps, etc. The large bear below is 4 feet by 4 feet and took me about 40 hours to complete.

This is amazing. To think that someone can create art from repurposed material.

Really lovely! I love all the warm tones and different patters used to create the cat's fur.

I live in the Blue Ridge mountains in Northeast, GA, otherwise known as "The Trout Capital of Georgia."

Art has always been a relaxing hobby of mine until I decided to sell my wildlife collages about a few years ago. So far, I've mostly done wildlife, though I've done landscape and a couple of pets as well. I plan on expanding in time!

    I taught my junior high art students how to do this collage technique. They came up with some pretty nice art!

    Not only is the bird and tree fantastic, the back drop idea with the musical notes is fabulous! :)

    Red Cardinals have been my absolute favorite for all times. I started painting an year ago and I have been brooding over collages for a very long time now. I always looked for a way to begin with and I guess I found it finally. Your work is amazing with a humble tone of simplicity to it!

    Besides creating collage art, I also write fantasy and non-fiction books for readers of all ages. I've already released some books that you can check out by clicking here if you're interested! "The Worlds Next Door" is my first middle-grade book that I am very excited about. It tells a story about a twelve-year-old, Janie Rutland, that decides to investigate an abandoned house next door and finds something completely unexpected!

    This one would go really well with any 'country' sort of decor scheme. It's so well done and classy.

    This one has lots of hidden creatures. There's a lizard in his nose and a wolf right above it, a rabbit in his snout and an owl between his eyes, sort of to the left, there is a loving couple off to the left and an elderly couple sitting at a table towards the right above his eye, a gorilla snout and gorilla eyes placed separately on the left, as well as an upside down hippopotamus, and a trail of men on horseback in his snout and two sets of legs in the background.

    It's hard to pick a favorite. This little about-to-take-flight duck hasn't had anyone talk about his handsomeness. I will happily say, I like the duck, the best! :)
