Alice Shapiro

"I attempt to interpret the essence of nature through digital collage. My art explores chaos/order; design/fine art; complexity/simplicity. I hope to solve the dichotomy of diversity versus exclusivity through emotional balance expressed within art."
"A line is a dot that went for a walk."
- Paul Klee

I've Been Tassled - Digital collage 5 x 7 in.
