For Andrew
'Christina's World' has always been one of my favorite paintings and I love the work of Andrew Wyeth who passed away on January 16th. This collage was made last year but seems timely in light of his passing.
To Mr. Witkowski: Thanks so much for you interest in this picture. I will refrain from publishing your comment to protect the privacy of your phone number. The collage is not for sale as it is a part of my personal visual journal. It was intended only as a tribute to one of my favorite artists, Andrew Wyeth, and his beautiful painting "Christina's World." Again, thanks for your comment and best regards, Ann Renee
There are two things in my life that have been constant, no matter what: art and the need for unstructured time to play. I am a compulsive maker-of-things who believes that every day must have some time set aside to feed the creative spirit. This would include making art, looking at art, reading about art, experimenting/playing with materials, learning new skills, and general studio art-play. To support my habit and spread the joy, I was an art educator for 38 years. I'm now retired from public education, but still enjoy teaching occasional workshops locally. I will try to share some of my adventures in both art and play here in this space.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
