New medium - 2019 has been the Year of the Collage

In 2017, the MFA Boston had a wonderful exhibition of Matisse's cutouts. When i saw the show i was immediately taken by the simplicity and childlike plafulness of the cutouts. I think a seed was sown in my mind.
Then in 2018, i started researching collage work and found a friend who does this type of work, So earlier this year  (2019) i went to visit her, took a class with her - Jennifer H. - she was very kind and wonderful and taught me a few basics to get me started. In January, this year i also took a class with Jean Carter at the Concord Art Assoc. she taught me more about how to be free with shapes and how they all go together.

Here are a few examples of my collages inspired by Matisse-
