LUANA KAUFMANN
Collage Designs

Luana Kaufmann's collages begin life as compilations of found images,
created with scissors, paper and glue. They are discoveries of believable
fantasy and impossibly-grounded dream. Next, they transform into a new
generation of "old paper", as they are scanned and meticulously printed to
become (sprayed ink) giclees. The incorporation of the print medium creates the ultimate cohesion of once-disparate parts, and the exquisite quality of the archival inks and paper renders the pieces gallery collectibles. Luana has exhibited and sold prints in many festivals and shows in the Baltimore/Washington area, as well as a few beyond. Some of the more notable venues are Artscape, Surtex, Nordstrom, and the American Visionary Art Museum Store and Holiday Market.
