Collage Unleashed by Traci Bautista

i am a mixed media book artist     	

	~printmaker~ graphic designer ~  
   ~ surface designer ~ painter~ 


 i create one-of-a-kind artist books, 


fiber collage,


		mixed media paintings,


	visual journals and handpainted papers. 
 
 my work combines layers of color. 


		words.   symbols.    patterns.

  images.  both digital & illustrated

         new & old.


it is a never-ending experiment 

		in “PLAY”.     


	 it is eclectic. funky. raw. 

		random. free.  
 it tells stories. 


	i combine fiber, fabric, 

		paper & beads. 

drizzles of paint. layers of type. BOLD.unique.
	{freedom} hidden layers of text
color choice is not a 

	conscious decision. 
		it is intuitive. 
   
	i construct, deconstruct & 

		reuse elements.  			
 
i mix new &recycled parts. 
   
  i stitch. glue.  staple. doodle. 

	print. knit.    sew.	
 
tape. fuse.   carve.   	
  paint. draw. embellish. weave.  



 i am inspired by everything & everyone 


	that enters my path. 

i find art in everything   	 
 
	and everything finds its way into my art.
