Depelchin Collection: Collage Gallery

Like the patchwork of experiences that make up our lives we have used art and the creative process to piece together a mosaic of images reflecting the places, people and things that make us whole.  The collage work  below are the result of Lesson Two in the Self-Discovery Mural Workshop Series.  These collage works reflect the participants favorite colors, foods, places, animals, musical instruments, textures, and plants.  They are self-portraits in collage.
