Suzy Allegra

Every abstract collage that Suzy makes has metaphor and stories within the painting. Yet, art is in the eye of the beholder. You may discover different symbols or tell another story when you view her work.

As with all of her art, the abstracts come to her unannounced when she’s simply contemplating life (or perhaps art). She sees a picture and scribbles the outlines, notes colors if they are in the vision, and later creates them using her unusual method of torn paper.

Sometimes she makes a background for one piece and when she’s completed it, she’s clear (through her intuition) that another picture, often very different, belongs there. She’ll then create a new piece for that background. Art is one of her playgrounds and she loves to experiment with new styles and media, but often comes home to her mixed-media torn paper collage as her authentic ‘voice’ in art.
