A 1960's Collage


After an afternoon training at the USOE office in Salt Lake (and a quick visit to Nordstram's Rack...) I spent the evening with my Aunt Nelda. We had a great visit. She said she wanted to give me back a piece of artwork I had created in high school. I still remember when I was in art class at Ben Lomond High and brought this piece home. When my aunt saw the collage, she immediately "adopted" it, had it professionally framed, and it has hung in her living room for most of these 30 years! It's now hanging in my living room. It may look like an oil painting created with a palette knife, but is actually torn pieces of magazine paper placed carefully to create a "Picasso"-like collage. I have to say that my art teacher wanted it too!
