Jeanne Sullivan writes:  My work explores layers and textures using a wide range of papers and collage techniques. Many of the papers are altered by stamping, stenciling, painting, burning, tearing, printmaking and more. Recycled maps, books, music sheets,
textured papers, etc. are often added to the collage.
 

Sometimes my work is inspired by destinations known and but often unknown.
Most, however; invite the viewer to have a closer look to discover layers of
surprises. I am always seeking new techniques, papers and materials to make my
collages more intriguing.
