New resolution: I'm going to blog everyday. This doesn't mean that I have something to say everyday, but that never stopped me before!
I'm considering that I've come to the gluing phase of my latest effort and that I don't like the feel of it. This is too bad, as the meaning of the word "collage" is "to glue."
More later.

Discussions about art and what makes it happen.
Upon further Reflection on my Father
About Me
- Priscilla Wallace
- My first attempt to enter the world of fine art was through academic painting at the University of Texas at Austin. I learned what painting was, and, disappointingly, that I couldn’t do it. I left painting as one would leave a failed marriage. It was some years later that I approached making art through making crafts. Since then, I have come to regard fine crafts as fine art: The difference between the two exist on a theoretical level only, because a line separating them cannot be drawn—at least, not for me. In a world made of both “art” and “craft” I have found my home. My artwork seems to best be called “Crafted Paintings.” Still mindful of the principles of design, they are part collage, part mixed media painting, part constructions. They are likely to run off in any of these directions, or others, as the spirit moves them. That spirit expands most successfully when it is beautiful, whimsical, colorful, and rich. These pieces celebrate life in one aspect of it or another, and they seek to create joy in the heart of the viewer. View my art at www.artbycollage.com
