velvet morning. photo collage portraiture art for sale

My name is Tenika Morrison and I have been involved in collage in different forms for about 16 years. I am obsessed with Europe and old handwritten script and it is a definite inspiration in my work. I adore photo/ portrait collage because it allows you to study faces of old and let them be your muse along the way. They all have a story to tell.

I search for hours for the right subjects for my collage pieces. They must speak to me for me to use them. My husband teases me because I can stare at portraits all night but only choose a few. Each print has been lovingly handpicked down to each little element. Even the title of each work is a song title that was played while creating it that fit with the piece.

AnythingIndie.Com says "Velvet Morning's collage work is exquisite and has a certain charm and aesthetic that makes you want to get lost in her work. The backgrounds are perfect and enhance their subjects and bring everything together as if they were meant to be together. All I can say is Wow. Seriously Wow."

I am also available for custom portraits if you would like to personalize a photo of your own to give as a gift, or to hang in your own home.

Currently I am selling my prints on Etsy.Com, click the photos on the left to be taken to my shop.
