I am an Arlington collage artist. Audubon images are a favorite of mine. I combine a collage image of a New England bird with a map that represents its potential habitat. When searching for the perfect paper for my collage work, I find myself studying the colors and textures in an image thinking about how they could translate into the detail of the bird I am creating. In a world where many ordinary objects and books are tossed away or not appreciated, it’s nice to find a way to reimagine and bring new life to them.
