Backsplash Collage
D.I.Y.

I made a collage backsplash for our kitchen. It looks great and was really easy to make. I took two canvas boards and used those as a backing for the collage. I ordered a sheet of plexi to size and pre-drilled for the surface. After I created my collage which is composed of drawings, photographs, old art cards, and magazine clippings we screwed the piece and plexi into the wall. We used clear caulking to caulk around the plexi.It's a really fun project to do at home and if you don't have a lot of wall space for art it's a great way to add more art into your home.

About Me

My photo
I work at a contemporary art gallery. I love working with artists and collectors and placing work in people's homes. I love painting, taking photographs, drawing, and mostly just observing art and style around me. I'm always interested in people's point of views on style and aesthetics and how art and style influence people's lives and the world in which we live. I think art and style are extremely powerful influences on identity, expression and positive living. Art pushes people to think differently and understand a perspective in new ways. Style is about personal identity and self expression while adding color, creativity and life to a person or environment. I think art and style are essential and I love to discover it around me minute to minute.
