Kate Morgan

Figurative Mixed Media Collage artist/painter traveling the United States selling and showing work via Art shows, fairs and galleries.
My background is still-based photography but with the world of digital, everything has no feeling. You don't touch the work anymore. I needed something tactile so I decided to explore other mediums. Through experimentation & exploration I found collage. I start with original drawings that are cut and collaged onto wood with antique and vintage papers to create new imagery. There are layers of paper, ink, watercolor and colored pencil usually with a gold leaf feature.
Symbolism comes from religious Icons, German Expressionist Movement, Contemporary Fashion, Mythology & Folklore to name a few.
