Cut and Place!
​"Sans-colle" Art

Picture
Paint is a wonderful medium, whether it’s the transparent blends of watercolor, the buttery feel of oil, or the textures built with acrylic.  On the other hand, you can’t get away from the fact that painting is messy, needs set-up and clean-up time, and requires space.

That's where "Sans-colle" art - art without glue - 
comes in!
I paint swatches of color on 
special paper "canvas" that has a sticky backing. After the paint has dried, the colors are put on release liners so that they can be easily cut up and pieced, layered, or similarly assembled to create your own art composition.
Without the need for messy glue,  this art form is environmentally clean, economical, and versatile. And it hardly takes up any room!

This very portable, clean, and dry art form allows you to "paint" anywhere; on a train, in a cafe, at a campsite, or a kitchen table! All you need are swatches of color, a pair of scissors, and something to stick the designs on. 

This is ideal medium for use in card-making, small compositions, customizing blank books and water bottles, or making beautiful anything that could use a boost of color. These materials are very popular in Stress-Reduction Workshops

To the Left are samples of the color swatches I create. 
Below are a few small compositions I've made during my travels or to put on greeting cards.
Below are some examples of compositions I've done "on the road," often as a visual memory of places I've been. Abstract is fun, too!
