Introducing Original Torn Paper Collage Art on Paper

I love creating on paper, and I’m always looking for ways to share my work with a broader audience.

These new works on paper are created in the same way I always create, but instead of creating on a wood panel, I am creating on watercolour paper. A 100% paper creation! This allows for cheaper shipping because it's on paper, and you, the buyer, have control over how it is framed.

The art created on paper will tend to be 8.5 × 11.5 or 8.5 × 8.5 inches and not larger and all sold unframed.

Blooming Abstract

“Blooming Abstract” is a new print now available through my print shop. This purple abstract floral collage was made using all the bits of torn paper I had left over from a large art piece I recently finished. I love using up bits of paper to create new art.

This new abstract floral design is available in a variety of sizes ranging from 4×8 inches through to 23×48 inches. It can be purchased unframed or framed. If you prefer the look of original art on canvas, that is also available. Unlike my original work, which is in a specific size, my print shop offers far greater choice!

Birthday Card Sets

Costco used to sell a box of cards that all had that handmade look to them. I used to buy one every year because I loved how whimsical they were and how awesome it was to have cards available whenever I needed one especially when my kids were little. It was so great not to have to run to the store every time you needed a card. This was of course, before I started creating my own cards.

Nowadays with social media and email people have become a little less personal with cards and I truly think we need to bring back sending or giving a good old card!

Until recently, I haven’t promoted my cards much. I missed creating them so I revived my card-making skills. I love that through Art of Where I can make a selection of greeting cards and sell them keeping everything Canadian Made! So if you want a selection of whimsical greeting cards for a few different occasions, I can provide them. Blank floral or abstract cards are perfect to have around for those who just need a card but it doesn’t have to be specific occasion cards.

Love and Valentines

I’ve created a few new love-themed greeting card designs that could be used just because, or for Valentine’s Day which is coming up. These designs are all designed using my collaged heart elements, which I enjoyed creating.

I have a large selection of hearts and love-themed cards available. To check them all out click here.

Behind The Torn Edges

This is a space where I go behind the torn edges, but some may wonder what the “torn edges” represent.

For me, the torn edges represent life.

The frayed edges reflect the delicate fragility of life itself. Their unevenness mirrors our paths, which are rarely smooth and often unpredictable.

For me, tearing paper is not about destruction but more about creation. We can create beauty from broken things.

As much as I find joy in creating my abstract works on paper I find great joy in tearing them up to create larger, more playful, and colourful works to live on the walls in people's homes.
