Foreign Bend

Piece description from the artist

This piece was inspired by and sketched from a vintage photograph from my own personal collection. My palettes are inspired by starting with a found, vintage paper color and building out from there with other found papers and painted papers that are then cut in a quilt-like method and pieced together on a spruce panel. My love for combining vintage ephemera and modern, bold colors came from my start in graphic design and a love for the juxtaposition that seems to work so well in paper arts.
