Mixed Media Collage Inspiration: Concepts to Jump-Start Your Creativity - Paperback

St Hilaire, Elizabeth Jane: - Meticulously torn bits of hand-painted papers, delicately put together, form the exceptionally vibrant collages created by Artist Elizabeth St. Hilaire. Richard Colvin, executive director of the Lake Eustis Museum of Art says, Elizabeth St. Hilaire's artworks have a fresh quality that belies the way they are constructed. St. Hilaire published her book Painted Paper Art Workshop internationally with North Light Books in August (2016). Elizabeth's work has also been published in Acrylic Works 3: Celebrating Texture (2015) and Incite 2; Color Passions (2014), both by North Light.
