Artists' Market participation

Here are a few examples of new collage that will be shown at the outdoor Artists' Market in Durango near my home and studio.  This series of collage are framed and presented in vintage photo folders.  An outdoor market setting is not my usual venue for showing my collage and mixed media art but the event should be fun and help support the arts in the local community.
