I gotta say that I’m impressed and that I like these. Usually, I think, people tend to do too much with collages, as in using too many images and filling up the paper/canvas to the edges. The use of white space highlights the overall thought process and the layout and design of each piece. These tell the viewer that there was a reason why they were put together the way they were and are not random. Very cool and not at all what I was expecting. Pleasantly surprised and would like to see more in the future!

These are wonderfully creative and whimsical collages. I find them thoughtful and interesting in both the subject matter and the specific collage pieces used to create the image. Great work!

Hey Anita,
Nice to see you on the web. You still make wonderful pieces. I miss the all night jewelry sessions with you and Pat. I am still in northern MI. Still married and Nick is 16 now. Where does it go. I am painting regularly. Ceck out my stuff http://hexentafel.webs.com/pennsilfaanischdeitsch.htm
I hope that all is well with you.

I love it. Its very clever and entertaining in the sense that I can look at a peculiar little (or sometimes large) creature and still go piece by piece and see what creatures are in the cutouts as well. In all honesty, I think a 3-D piece in person would look sick.

How can such vulnerable, multifaceted creatures juggle so much and balance so precariously on such little stages? Is art imitating life or is life imitating art? Hmmm….
