I met with the editor and publisher of the Alexandria Times the other day to talk about the artwork they publish for the newspaper. He gave me a list of themes and ideas for a few papers that will be published in the future. I’ve begun working on a series of collages around the city for their newcomers guide to Alexandria. I’ve decided to make a bunch of mini collages for this project so that the editor can choose his favorites from the group, and then those can be collaged together using Photoshop. Here’s the first one I completed today.
Thanks for stopping by my blog Megan and your comment. What you do with paper is stunning. I don’t get to paint/draw us much now I am starting the shop (not how I would like to), Congratulations on your exhibition too. I will stop in a see what you have been up to soon.

Hi Megan,
Thanks so much for visiting my blog and for taking the time to comment.
I’m glad that I visited your blog, your paper collages are amazing. I love how you describe your work as “painting with paper”, fabulous!
This is so lovely Megan. Thanks for visiting my little blog – I’ll be back to visit yours. You do wonderful work.

Hi Megan, i have just been browzing through your blog, and i really love your work. I think your description of “painting with paper” is very apt. I did some collage a few years ago, using mostly pages cut from magazines, but was horrified to see recently how they have faded, even though I coated them thoroughly with acrylic based varnish when they were done! How do you avoid that?
Hi Megan! Thanks for stopping by! Wow! I love your work. I also work in collage but very different to this. That is some talent you have!
i am always so impressed with the detail and shading that you accomplish with paper collage! truly great technique!
Congratulations with the award at the show! And this new peice is beautiful! And I wanted to say thank you for inspiring me, I did a tiny bit of collage myself this weekend having seen your beauitful work. I’ll post it on my blog later this week, with a credit to you, I’ll let you know when it is up 🙂
megan, i love collage and your work really intrigues me! it’s pieced together like a mosaic, and as a whole looks like a painting. very beautiful. i’ll be back for sure to see more! thanks for visiting!
This is wonderful! Great start to your project.
i love collages too & that’s something I hv not done much of (yet!) & hope to do in future. You deserve the award as yr “paintings with paper” are amazing! Congratulations!
