Collage is an intuitive, creative and exciting process of revealing and concealing, adding and subtracting until the mysterious result emerges from the layers. In working with a variety of media, altered images, materials and objects you will explore and nourish the fertile inner landscape of your soul, the womb of your
deepest hopes and dreams. Collage as Mystery will help free your imagination and allow your inner artist to soar.
