Collages created while wintering in Florida


I retired from teaching primary art in 2007. Now, I have time to discover new ideas and create art on my own. The last two years I have "wintered" in Florida and, while there, took photos of the area for inspiration and created 8 x 10 collages from handmade and oriental papers. I'd like to share some of my artworks with you for any feed back.
Four of my collages have been donated to Collage Mania 09 to be auctioned off on line in May 2009 with the proceeds going to cancer research. This is such a good cause I plan to do this each year. We lost our mother to lung cancer in 1998 and I feel this is just a small way of helping others to find a cure.

This piece is called "China Visited V" and is a combination of hand colored papers, oriental papers, computer generated images from black and white "doodles", found paper, and stamping. It is one of fourteen of my "China Visited" series. I created this series for the feeling of peace that is needed after experiencing the death of a loved one.
