How I Got Started Making Collages

Every artist has an origin story. Mine started with a childhood full of art classes, a lot of experimenting with different materials, and a happy discovery in high school that collage was unlike anything else I'd tried. In this video I'm sharing how I got started making collages - what drew me to the medium, why I keep coming back to it, and what makes it such a uniquely challenging and rewarding way to make art. What I love most about collage is the element of surprise. You're working within constraints - limited by whatever colors, patterns, and textures you can find in a magazine - and that limitation forces a kind of creativity that I find endlessly exciting. No two pieces are ever the same, and the process never gets old.
