“PAINTING WITH PAPER
—printmaking and collage converging”
by Theresa Heinz
“I can not live without making art, it is in my heart and breath. The adventure is wild, challenging, heartbreaking and glorious. I thrive on the passion that is the creative endeavor.”
“Collage, like our lives is multi-layered, with each layer or experience effecting the others. Currently, my work involves figures within specific settings. Some images are historic reflections of my family, others are more recent experiences around my environment. My goal is to position literal figures within a somewhat abstract, collaged background.“
