Photography gone wild with paint and collage


Last weekend, I participated in a Maureen Brouillette workshop. The moment I saw Maureen’s work it was love at first sight!  I saw her techniques as a perfect combination of photographs, collage and paint in a single art piece. That’s why when she announced a workshop I was the first in line to get there.  Whenever painting is involved, I find myself outside my comfort zone so I started this workshop with a degree of trepidation. However, this workshop was a pleasant exception.
We had such pleasant time learning creative details that I never would have envisioned.  Also, seeing such a master at work was worth a thousand “art how-to books.”
