Li’l k
I’ve been working on a new collage series titled Li’l k. All of the images are of me from my child hood circa early to mid 1970s. The fashion influence and blatant joy-of-being warms my heart. Check me out on IG @kathrynlissack. Each image is collaged and painted with acrylics on vintage paper, 14” x…What’s Been Going on These Days?
How time flies when you’re isolating! Winter is over, Spring sped by and summer is beginning to wane. I won’t bemoan the lack of diverse scenery or stimulating experiences this past year, because I know that I, and my family, are some the fortunate ones. We are still employed, healthy and safe in our community.…![]()
ABC
I am working on a new series with a working title of ABC. The theme, or unifying motif, is the alphabet as a cataloging device. Here's where that idea came from; I received a vintage accordion folder and I instantly fell in love with it. The card stock is about twice the thickness of contemporary…![]()
Back in the studio — painting recipes?
Here we are in a Covid-affected world where we all have created our own "new normal". For me this means working from home instead of the studio where I usually work as a full-time interpretive graphic designer. One benefit for me of this new normal is I've finally had the opportunity to set up my…![]()

Keep on, keeping on
I’m ticking along with my little collages for the Holiday fair. I have a photo to share of one that is now complete. Personally I like the interpretation of sharing a meal via the butcher diagram. It’s got that cheeky, retro vibe going. Stay tuned for more.. and thanks for popping in!

Holiday Planning
Sorry if you’re not ready to read this, but I’ve been invited to participate in a private Christmas sale so I’m already in the head-space for “the season”. I’m creating six 6″ x 6″ collages all about food. Since food seems to be the on the mind of many of us when we celebrate together,…

It’s been a while…
Yikes time flies! How have I not shared with you for so many months? I have been very busy since we last visited. I have submitted a book proposal on the subject of collage and mixed media surface treatments. I won’t give it all away now, but I promise to keep you posted on the…

Gala Painting : Final
Here's the final painting that came out of my time with Ecole Pauline Johnston. What a great group of kids to work with! Kudos to their teacher, Laura Delasalle, for enthusiastically supporting this project and for accommodating my schedule. This piece really supports the work the school has done in adding to their existing playground…
