The tiles in Portugal seemed to be everywhere! So many different colors and patterns, and I loved how they were incorporated into all these old buildings. I bought some stickers at a little gift shop specifically to make this collage.

I’ve always been fascinated by how much history surrounds you in Europe. When I was a teenager, I stayed with a family in a small village in France and brought them a book of photographs of the United States. The daughter, who was my age, was fascinated by the pictures, especially the freeways, which she thought were beautiful! I couldn’t understand it. To me, her village was so much more beautiful.

My nephew’s wedding in a little Portuguese town was one of the most beautiful I’ve ever attended. So many gorgeous, thoughtful details. I loved the Persian traditions in the ceremony, especially the honey and sugar - meant to bring sweetness to their marriage. And the Persian dancing at the reception was so much fun!

The toasts were incredibly touching. I loved hearing stories about Cameron Quinn and Monna - getting to know them a little better through the eyes of their friends. Monna’s family was so warm and welcoming, which made the whole celebration even more special.

I also had a wonderful conversation with a family from the Netherlands during the reception. It was one of those unexpected connections where you realize how much you have in common with someone from a completely different part of the world.

So grateful for my family and so happy to have Monna officially be part of it!

Most nights I was exhausted by the time I sat down to make a collage. I would just tear paper and put together whatever felt right, using materials I’d brought from home and even a book I bought at the Picasso Museum specifically to tear apart.

When I saw this stained-glass window at Montserrat, I thought the simple shapes and colors would make a great collage, not realizing at the time how much it resembled the blue-and-yellow one I’d already made!

Just got back from a wonderful trip to Spain and Portugal with my siblings for my nephew’s wedding!

Lots of walking, sightseeing, ham and cheese, and apparently no time for social media. I did somehow find time to make 13 daily collages, usually very late at night when I should have been sleeping.

No scissors, just torn paper for the first few. Looking through my photographs now, I love seeing how the colors and textures of the places we visited connect with what I was making.

A collage and some photos from Barcelona.

Two recent collages made from the same book, using a lot of the same colors but in two very different ways — one torn and layered, the other woven.

That’s one of the things I like about collage. You can start with the same source material and end up somewhere completely different depending on how you cut, tear, layer or rearrange it.

I’m teaching a collage workshop this Saturday from 1–4 PM, where we’ll experiment with some of these different ways of working and then have plenty of time to make your own pieces.

No experience needed. All materials included. $65.

My future niece had the most beautiful bridal shower, with flowers filling the table. At the end of the day, I asked if I could take some home. Into the freezer they went. I especially love these two pieces because they have such a sweet memory attached to them.

I’ve been giving myself a little challenge recently: make one small collage every day. There aren’t really any rules, which is part of what I like about it. Some days I begin with an idea; other days, just a color, a shape, or a way of tearing the paper—and go from there.

I love that collage doesn’t require a big plan. You can begin with one small thing and see what happens.

I’m excited to bring that same open, playful approach into my upcoming collage workshop.

Saturday, September 26
1–4 p.m.
$65 • all materials included
Limited to 10 people

We’ll spend the afternoon cutting, tearing, arranging, and seeing where the materials take us. No experience needed.

What is a piece of art worth?

There is the cost of the paper, always seeming to rise.
Oh yeah, and the cost of the glue.

And then there is the cost of putting that art on a wall.
And of being congratulated, even though I feel the work could’ve been better. Or being passed by, even when I know this is SO good.

There is also the time that it takes to make it,
And the time that it took to learn how,
And the time spent feeling like something was inside me churning and boiling and trying to escape
reshaped by my heart into something new,
Hoping that someone who was feeling something similar might see it and say “OMG – sometimes I feel like that, too.”

I can tell you the cost of the paper.
And what I paid for the glue.
And what it costs to have a roof above my head
While I do the things I do.
The rest is harder to account for.
But it is there, and it is real.
Written in every scrap of paper or shutter click—
and occasionally,
expressed as a number on a gallery wall.

People ask me all the time how I came up with the idea for my series, “Arrested Decay”. In this short shaky video I share the story about how it all began!
