Two Purple Dots and a Piercing Gun The Collage Collection Annette Rotz Chalk pastel on

Annette Rotz Chalk pastel on newsprint I m drawn to seeing the richness of color beauty and humor in everyday life It could be a certain quality of light a feeling of deep connection or a striking composition that inspires me to explore and experiment further to reveal a deeper layer

My work often starts with no blueprint

My works are on paper like a book
