About E | altered-e-art|Elisabeth Fitzhugh

My art world flows as Altered-E-Art. Bits and pieces speak to me.

I have spent much of my artist life in 3-dimensions - altering - working in clay and in mixed-media with found objects, but always at my side is the world of collage.

Digital collage opened a broad world to me. Photographed images. Found images. Scanned images. 'Googled' images. Created images. Altered images.

I am attracted to retro and vintage images, often echoing the world of the stylized movies of the 30's to early 50's. Signage and artifacts draw my attention. I amplify and alter my images and like to include incongruous elements for a bit of surprise, of touch of the surreal.

I especially enjoy 'collaging' while traveling, using my own photographs as the background. Check out my 'regional' collages.
