Mixed Media Collage This piece is my first attempt at a collage work using my gel-print papers. This was fun! I debated on painting faces for each figure but in the end decided to leave these to the viewers imagination. I entered this piece into a regional art show sponspored by the Raymore Arts Counsel in April, 2024 called, "Perspectives". This piece was awarded First Place in Mixed Media, etc. Pretty thrilled with that! The piece is 12"x16".
