Doug DeVivo

 Collage   Sonoma County  

Doug is a plien-air collage artist who's paperworks are full of color, movement, and an enchanting and surprising combination of different material.

The richly textured pieces evoke in the viewer a wealth of reactions. Some from the overall design, some from studying the individual papers chosen for the piece.

There is a combination of humor and soberness in seeing the illustrations, text and patterns on each individual scrap of paper, as well as the overall effect in the hands of a talented artist.

Still not good at smiling instead of giving the Slavic Stare but hey. I have some more time to figure it out before the end of the year.

We're checking out of our hotel in Guerneville today and I felt very gender.
