About the Item

Artist Comments
Amid the joys and struggles of her life, a young mother takes a moment to rest, accompanied by a cute puppy. In the background, a small section repurposed from a larger piece of abandoned children’s artwork adds depth to the scene. Artist Libby Ramage creates the piece using collage, charcoal, watercolor, and acrylic.


About the Artist
Libby Ramage infuses a playful and whimsical mood into her works. In fact, she credits the children she works with for greatly influencing her aesthetic. She often uses children’s abandoned work in her collages. Libby currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Rauschenberg. She believes collectors should buy from the heart.
