My great Aunt made her own glue for pasting the images she cut out of magazines into scrapbooks. I used these scrapbooks to learn my first words and from this point I was hooked. For me, collage is a language and the medium I use to express my thoughts, hopes, and dreams. Ann Harithas Anns life was a collage of unique and exceptional complexity. She used her glue of unbreakable loyalty and love with the people and causes she believed in. From a ranch in Texas, she was capable on a saddle and in boots, learning the discipline needed to handle rope and cattle and becoming simultaneously savvy to fine art while eventually taking on the serious responsibilities and decisions that would affect the future of her family. Born into a life that could offer help to others, she was charitable in a discrete and effortless manner, rarely seeking recognition or spotlight. More Info below.
