living color





kelly rae roberts, featured in the may/june 2008 issue of cloth paper scissors, is a collage and mixed media artist.

I see traces of Vuillard, Klimt and Mondrian in much of her work. Heavy background patterning, long necks and bodies, and deeply angled heads characterize many of her images.

The second image featured here is a departure from many of the works I've seen. I love the broad blocks of color and the simple distrustful look supported by a sea of deep ocean and flame.
