Mixed media, especially collage, seems to becoming an art movement in itself. It is a very popular form among contemporary artists. Artists take torn papers, found objects, metal, wax, organic objects and more to create fine art. I think there is a fine line between art and craft. I am interested in art, but not craft. In my Pintrest, I've collected examples of mixed media and collage hat I find high art. Robert Burridge has some wonderful figure paintings made with collage, although he is not an artist who always works in collage. Carol Nelson is a mixed media artist who paints almost exclusively in collage. I am drawn to many of her works.

I have used collage in two of my paintings: Trumped Up and Branches and Leaves. I respect the art form and I haven't given up on it just yet, but I'm not sure this is the medium I see myself using regularly.
