Print of original mixed media collage using Cattlemarkers, Watercolors, Acrylics, Flax Flowers, hand drawn/painted tobacco flowers, Porcupine Quills, Sycamore Tree Bark, Horse Hair, Fox Tail, Wild Grass, Sweet Grass & Braided Sweet Grass, my Grandmother’s Glass Beads, Ribbons and Montana Sharp-tail Grouse, Pheasant, Duck and Peacock Feathers.

I developed my own style of collage by using painted paper or recycled paintings. I cut or tear the painted paper into pieces and then assemble them into layers, often adding a variety of materials to adorn each image. Each brilliantly-colored and whimsical image tells its own story and is often a reflection of my own personal struggles and triumphs. I earned my bachelor of fine arts degree from Montana State University and currently resides in Bozeman, Montana. You can find more of my art at shirleyrobinett.com.
