Natasha Monahan Papousek is a collage artist inspired by flora and fauna from her backyard. Her process is unusual: after choosing a reference photo and creating an underpainting, she collects paper – old maps, sheet music, tourist literature, and junk mail, then paints and prints layers of color and patterns on top. Then she rips them up in a mosaic process to form the “brushstrokes” for her paintings. Natasha's work is a testimony to the enduring power of Nature. “I hope my art sparks joy and inspires people to see the beauty around them.”
