Author Information

Born in Madrid, Spain, artist Madcollage studied Fine Arts, Art History, and Art Education. Crazy about paper and scissors, she found her cloud nine in collage - the place where she feels most truly herself. She likes to say she makes a living by gluing daydreams onto paper, and she loves what she does.She makes collages to articulate ideas not fit for words, to get a break from worries, and to communicate with other sensitive souls. For her, collage is a brilliantly therapeutic and democratic practice - everyone is welcome.Her method is thoughtful and intentionally slow, which she considers quietly rebellious. Spending time on a thoroughly human creative activity - pushing back against everything fake and hollow - feels revolutionary. Through her work and teaching, she invites others to jump onto that cloud with her. There is lots to learn.
