Do you prefer the version with one collage piece or the version with three collage pieces?

Mixed media collage made from vintage braille paper, bits & pieces from vintage books, as well as handmade fodder. Mounted on wood panel. #artasresistance

Small 4x6 inch collage made from vintage book pages and papers I marked on & painted. I love the texture that torn paper gives. I also love how the vintage book pages make me think of memories or stories passed down through generations.

The Women of Abstract Expressionism course has really re-sparked my love for collage! I created this one today and I'm loving the quiet, yet meaningful, conversation that I feel happening between just these few small scraps of paper.

Thank you! Yes, I would definitely recommend it. It's a wonderful class. Nice blend of art history along with "how to" lessons.

I'm currently taking the Women of Abstract Expressionism art course on the Jeanne Oliver website. Here's an abstract collage piece that I created, inspired by a couple of lessons from the course.
