JoAnn Lieberman
As a textile print designer with a 40-year career in the fashion industry, I have always been drawn to the interplay of colors, textures and patterns, especially when they are melded together into a cohesive compilation. Over the years, I have amassed a rich assortment of original and vintage printed patterns and currently, channel this extensive experience and vast collection into creating mixed media collages. These collages are more than just an amalgamation of different materials; they are a sometimes-chaotic juxtaposition of elements within figurative subjects; a fusion of traditional surface pattern design within contemporary art forms. In each collage, I strive to create a dialogue between the different components allowing the printed patterns to interact with the subject in new and unexpected ways. As an artist, I find inspiration in the vibrancy of city life especially the richness of different cultures I’ve experienced through my travels. These elements serve as a constant source of ideas for my collages. Through my art, I invite viewers to join me on this pathway, exploring the intricate landscapes of these images and to discover the narratives hidden within them. As I continue to evolve and grow as an artist, I look forward to many more stories that are yet to be told, the patterns yet to be created and the collages that utilize them, yet to be brought to life.
