Color Collages

A four-piece collage series that blends hand work with digital craft. I built physical compositions from textured papers, foil, and found imagery, then scanned everything at high resolution. In Photoshop I curated the fragments, established a clean grid, and unified the set with a green-led palette—emerald, chartreuse, moss, and aqua. Masking, blend modes, controlled opacity, and subtle grain preserved paper tooth and edge detail, while vector accents in Illustrator added crisp planetary geometry and alignment. Final prints were prepared with consistent margins and color profiles for gallery presentation. Recognition: Published in The Monmouth Review 2023
