St. James Visual Arts Group:
Once again the Visual Arts Group welcomes the collage art of Susan Schrenk in July.
This year, Susan’s collages will feature the butterfly using recycled papers turned into monoprints, a technique using texture and color without any sense of controlling the outcome. From a distance, her collages appear to be paintings. Up close, they are complicated jumbles of separate parts. Her use of discarded materials fosters the idea of finding beauty in the overlooked. She discovers line, color and form hidden in what others toss away. By transforming magazines, maps and the ephemera into appealing images, she leaves a small carbon footprint and more importantly a trail of enjoyment for others to travel.
NOTE: Susan will be giving another free workshop for our members on Saturday, July 20th from 10:00am to 12:00pm. The sign up sheet is in the office. All materials provided.
A reception will be held in her honor on July 21st at 6:00pm following the Jazz Vespers Service.
