Collages at Robert Anderson Gallery + Daily Mail Catalog

The Daily Mail catalog in its native habitat, amongst the wild paper debris!

Some of the collages from my Daily Mail series are included in an exhibition of the Denver Collage Club at the Robert Anderson Gallery through May 30, 2015. The show features the work of more than 20 collagists and was recently written about in L'Oeil, an online photography journal, as well as Kolaj magazine. The gallery is located at 2426 East Third Avenue, Denver, Colorado. Hours are 11am-6pm Thursdays through Saturdays.

I've recently (finally!) organized all 75 images from the original series into a catalog, now available for purchase online. Each collage is reproduced at almost full size... so for those of you who felt these pieces should never be separated from each other: an intact collection is now available!

Denver International Airport Installation

Denver International Airport ‘here to there” art installation in main terminal.

One of my contributions... “Mapped,” 18 x 24″ collage with acrylic on wood panel.

I've somehow neglected to post news about my artwork at Denver International Airport (DIA)! Several enlargements from recent travel-inspired collages are part of an ongoing exhibition in the Main Terminal. An associated DIA Art Gallery show has already ended.

You don’t need to go through security to see the artwork. The installation is located on the 5th level—in the passageway directly below each of the east/west bridges, behind the rental car counters. Ask one of the cowboy-hatted greeters if you can't find it!

Details from three of my collages, all interpretations of travel, were enlarged and are included in the "here to there" installation along with those of fellow Expand artists Mary Williams, Ken Elliott, Carol Ann Waugh, and Victoria Eubanks. The panels were designed so that the elements from one image "travel" to visually connect with another -- quite a collaboration.Just making connections in Denver? You'll need to leave the secured concourses and head to the main terminal to see the work... a fun diversion, near a brewpub, if you have the time!The words that accompany the installation read:

here to therewe are wandererswe leave trails as much as we take trailsfoot steps through cities, woods, prairiesthreads that tie us to these places and each otherfragments of vistas and colorbits and pieces — we collect and leave behindcorners and u-turns that bring us full circlewe amble, we soar, we connectwe are masters at gettingfrom here to there

"Speed," by Janice McDonald, 18 x 24" collage with acrylic background on wood panel.

It's been a real thrill to see my artwork whenever I'm coming or going... or meeting up with friends/family who are! Check it out if you are traveling through Denver.

Botanicollage

About this time last year I was working on a series of nine collages with a botanical bent... and I'm really excited that they are now on view at the Loveland Museum Gallery as part of Xylem, a show of contemporary botanical artworks. The exhibition runs through March 15th in Loveland, Colorado. (Botanicollage has such a nice ring to it that I may have to continue the series!)
