Assemblage Greats: Greg Hanson

When I first got interested in assemblage, I went online to find out more.  
This led me to YouTube videos and discovering Greg Hanson, who has become my favorite assemblage/collage artist to watch.

Art Journal = Art Journey

Keeping my resolution, in my own way.

Back at the beginning of the year, I took on the challenge of starting an art journal by making a collage every day of the year. 
(See my original post from January 7th here.)

I’m proud to say I have kept up with my goal. 

However, it has not turned out the way I expected!

Collage Workshop

A Creative Escape

As you now know, my daily creative practice for 2017 is the 2D counterpart to assemblage: collage.

I recently had the great fortune to take part in a collage workshop at the  

California Center For Creative Renewal in Encinitas. 

The view and the Art House at the California Center for Creative Renewal.

The setting for this creative sanctuary is breathtaking.

Getting it all Down…

… On Paper!

Those who have followed me for a while know I have embraced the practice of doing something creative every day. 

For the year 2017, I will be keeping an art collage journal. What better way to combine assemblage with a daily routine?

A chronicle of this artist's life.

The idea isn’t new. Even this Psychology Today article talks about the benefits of daily creative expression.
