Artist Deborah Shapiro lives and works in Ohio. She creates collages of magazines and torn pieces of paper. Deborah has an art education, but in 30 years she has created only 10 paintings. At the age of 50, she took up collaging and only then began to feel like an artist.

One day Deborah was leafing through magazines and noticed bright pictures. It was these pictures that became Deborah's "paints". Inspired, she created her first collage. Up close, the collage shows a huge amount of detail, and from a distance it looks like a solid object.

Deborah's family — a husband, two dogs, two cats and an aquarium with exotic fish. Her life is displayed in the selected themes for paintings: coffee, wine, flowers and favorite pets. For Deborah, every collage is like a child she breathes life into.

In this collage, Deborah used compass parts for the eyelids and hot peppers for the collar.

In this collage you will find many hours. Harness and leather straps - from images of sofas, cowboy boots and trousers.

What a charismatic cockerel on the left! His scallop is a dark purple flower, his beard is red lettuce leaves, and on a red background is corn.

In these collages on a yellow background hidden rubber duck, umbrella, corn plus a bunch of funny pictures.

And in this bird, Deborah especially likes an angry cat in her stomach.

Collage with guitar from a large number of color pictures: a fox, dog, stuffed animal, toys, leopard, chocolate chip cookies, tattoo.

And in this collage, a light background with the names of famous people who played this instrument.

This collage depicts three types of coffee. Someone likes it with cream and sugar, black, or milked. Each cup has five or more words that describe this type of coffee.
