  1. JUNK MAIL PORTRAIT MOSAIC Inspired by SandhiSchimmel Gold

  2. Call it Paper Mosaic, call it Recycle Art, call it Mixed Media, call it PapierCollé... it's Fine Art by SandhiSchimmel Gold PapierCollé: • An art form that combines traditional painting with paper. Similar to a collage, a PapierCollé composition utilizes only a variety of papers - pasted directly onto a painting on canvas or wood. • Sandhi transforms her original paintings into fascinating PapierCollé Mosaic Portraits. A unique expression of this art form; espeically as she utilizes paper that would otherwise go to waste. Sandhi's work graces the walls of private collectors' homes, is featured in numerous corporate collections as well as permanent museum collections. If a picture is worth a thousand words... these are made from thousands more. • "My work reflects society's obsession with beauty in advertising; images that bombard us daily. I appropriate those images and reuse the advertising vehicle as well. My paper mosaics are a purposeful intermix of advertising messages - junk mail, postcards, etc. that arrive through my mailbox. I hand cut, sort and manipulate thousands of pieces; images and text - to assemble a mosaic portrait. I create a new image of beauty - an eclectic and tactile portrait redrawn and reworked in my imagination, utilizing materials that would otherwise go to waste." - SandhiSchimmelGold http://www.schimmelart.com/ http://www.schimmelart.com/

  3. I learned to mix paint before I could write my name and play piano before I could read music. • I spent my youth sitting quietly in my bedroom drawing. I cut school to spend days at art museums and galleries in New York City. • I changed majors in under grad and disciplines in grad school so many times, I decided to take my life-long love of learning out of academia. • In most ways, I am self-taught. • I studied mosaics overseas and applied this knowledge into my current work. I am very much influenced by what I have seen during my extensive travels and inspired by fashion, music & emotions.
