"Art does not reproduce what we see;
rather, it makes us see."
PAUL KLEE




Sometimes... 
visual expression is the only way to make yourself heard.

Loud and clear!

  6. Fantastic ~ I love it! Funny too, just yesterday I was cutting and tearing elements from an old sketch book and playing with their placement … you've inspired me to continue on that tract ~ thanks for that!

      All of this meaning the world to me...
      You noticed I used maps to collage the eyes, you seek detail... I love that! :]

  9. Isn't it fun sometimes to crop details of a larger piece? I like that first shot as much as I like the full piece--great colors on the face, and I like the text and maps, too. Really cool!

  10. Hello Cat
    Yes, I agree... cropping the piece to show details in the work is fun and also pulls you in.
    Wishing to see it as a whole, I believe :]
    Thank you for visiting and leaving such wonderful and encouraging comments!! ((hugs))
