Collage has remained a zenith of expression throughout art history and is defined as a technique of art creation, primarily used in the visual arts, but in music too, by which art results from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collage offers artists unparalleled opportunities to create concepts and designs and lend a sense of texture that simply isn’t possible through other mediums. Visual elements are thoughtfully combined, producing a new image that conveys a message or idea.

RAL invites its members to submit work using the collage technique. All mediums and styles will be accepted for review.

Jennifer Hudson is a Maryland based cut paper artist and ink painter. She began her career as a painter with an emphasis on realistic nature scenes and fantasy-based illustrations. She graduated from the Baltimore School for the Arts in 2014 with a concentration in painting. After graduating Hudson became intrigued by the world of contemporary paper art. She uses various sized knives to hand cut delicate works that display movement, texture and dimension. She combines several layers of cut paper to attain highly detailed three-dimensional works. Hudson’s love of the natural world is evident in the use of flora and animals in her work. She specializes in wild life art. Continuing motifs include foxes, birds, horses and delicate lace-like structures. She became a member of the Guild of American Paper cutters in 2020. Hudson is also a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists. She has been a Gallery Artist at Horse Spirit Arts Gallery since 2017, where she has sold over 100 pieces of original work. When she is not creating Hudson enjoys spending time with her two dogs, Tyrion and Loki. You can view her work online at www.jenhudsonarts.weebly.com. You can also follow her on Instagram @jennycutspaper.
