Collage on canvas

Collage has become a lost art form over the years.  Romare Bearden brought collage to light during the Harlem Renaissance, and I’m bringing it back to light today. I want the world to understand that collage is not just the cutting and pasting of pictures on a page. Instead, it's more like taking puzzle pieces that were never meant to fit together and manipulating them to not only fit, but also to make an aesthetically pleasing image during the culmination of a long, and tedious process

ABOUT THE PIECE, $5,000

Collage on Canvas constructed using hundreds of hand cut pieces of paper.  Each piece of paper was carefully pieced together and then painted to create a visual representation of Charlotte’s beautiful parks, skylines and diverse culture.  A reminder of the community that all of our frontline workers are working so hard for us to be able to return to.
