Postcard

Spent a few days on the halftone portrait of the woman and gradually added the elements that stuck in the final collage.  Love the sticky note on the postcard idea.  Like an after thought or an accidental ephemeral element.

Safe Landing

Combined two of my favorite images into this digital collage.  The hummingbird is a symbol of timeless joy and lightning is a symbol of sudden inspiration.  They collided with the color palette I chose.

The Idea

Most dada-esque collage I’ve done so far.  Really wanted to choose random images, text and see what emerged.  It makes sense in the mind of the viewer, or not.

Wildflowers

Summer is the time for warm breezes and soft colored flowers – Video Art by Karen Landey.

Unbroken

Did this collage over a two day period and couldn’t think of a title until “Unbroken” came into mind.  Perfect!
