Yes, I had a hard time deciding between the houses and the fruit… but how could I choose?! Today’s member spotlight is shining brightly on the painted paper collages of Ohio based artist Michele BonDurant:

“… I use layered painted paper collages to capture moments in time, drawing from the infinite possibilities created by looking closely at my world … I intend to breathe life into the mundane and familiar by experimenting with layering, shadow, color, pattern, and subtle nuances of light and form. Moreover, I want to create a visual shorthand that speaks of unending movement and evolution by layering and juxtaposing colors, vibrant patterns, and shapes … With this work, I provide a view of the underlying life and beauty in the mundane and the sheer strangeness of it all.”

So lovely. You can find Michele on Instagram at @michele_bondurant_studio.
