My 10 quick thoughts on creating original collage.
“13 pour” Jenny Davis
1. Just when you think you’ve got it licked, it can change, by adding one tiny piece of paper, or mark.
“Bitter Interception” Jenny Davis
2. Collage can’t be controlled, trust in the doing.
“No” Jenny Davis
3. If you don’t like something tear it off, paint or paste over it.
“Generous Nation” Jenny Davis
4. By elimination, breaking and tearing to restructure the work, you can open up a new vision.
“Clash 3” Jenny Davis
5. Text adds interest and throws it off again. Do you take it literally, or as a design element?
“De’ranger” Jenny Davis
6. Working on the whole collage at once and not just in one area, is more satisfying.
“Clash” Jenny Davis
7. Elements of design come into play too. Colour, shape, texture, line and form.
“84” Jenny Davis
8. When creating collage, I use the same cognitive process as when painting.
“Torn” Jenny Davis
9. It’s all about trusting the creative process, your intuition, taking risks and challenging yourself.
“Paris Burning” Jenny Davis
10. It’s also heaps of fun expressing yourself in this way!

MEET THE TENANT BOOK (20% discount)
During the week I was cleaning out my book shelves and came across my book, “Meet the Tenant”. An underground survey of Paris. It’s an unusual photographic survey of Paris. My photographs in this book are a “non-clichéd” look at Paris. Instead of focusing on the famous monuments, I zoom in on what is beneath the surface, photographing hidden places, including a storage area under an apartment.
I know I’m crazy but, I love spaces underground.
“There’s a life underneath the earth, and people don’t know about it, but it’s very busy and living,” she said.“I have taken photos of the Eiffel Tower but I go under it, and look at closer fragments.”
If you would like to buy a copy of my book…
Buy “Meet the Tenant’
DESCRIPTION: ” Meet the Tenant” Photography in Paris Australian Artist Jenny Davis. After a venture into the dungeon area under a Paris apartment. I could feel past lives lurking within its damp walls and eerie narrow chambers of numbered red doors. I spent many days down there alone soaking in the atmosphere of the space in order to connect to some sort of creative energy which eventually took off in all directions. I am fascinated by the beauty in the unseen the contained and murky, sometimes thought of as dirty and ugly.

Thank you Tyrrell’s wine, Mirvac and Sebel Heritage
“Outlook View”
Thinking of my home when I was in Europe.
This is the digital art print created from a
section of one of my original oil paintings for a wine label
Last night I attended a cocktail evening at the Sebel Heritage in the Yarra Valley. The whole idea of the evening was to introduce exhibiting artists to the new manager to chat about the current Yarra Valley Arts exhibition displayed at the resort.What a nice surprise I had when they announced my painting “Outlook View” was the winning entry for the Tyrrell’s Wine label competition. I was so excited, especially as I’d forgotten I entered the competition.
As an artist I love the idea that my art will travel, “Nomad Art” on a wine bottle.
Why should art be only framed on a gallery wall?
Although I didn’t get paid in money for my design I couldn’t think of a better marketing tool for getting my art seen and tasted:). The exposure for my art will be extensive, especially as Tyrrell’s wine is sold widely in Australia and exported all over the world. I was also presented with the new wine label beautifully framed, a gift card from Mirvac hotels & resorts and the most beautiful bunch of flowers. In the future I may even receive a case of the wine with my artwork.
Winning the competition also got me thinking a lot about the art on a wine label…
I know, when I buy a bottle of wine, I choose it primarily for its label. If the label is dull and boring visually, I won’t buy it. I also think the design of a wine label could make or break a new wine introduced to the market.
Do you choose a wine by the label?

SPIRIT OF THE VALLEY
An abstract feeling ….In this painting I wanted to capture the “Spirit of the Valley” in an abstract way. The colours connect to the mood of Yarra Valley’s lively communities, rich in it’s, various cultures. The arts, food and wine intermingled with the tranquillity and soul of the surrounding landscape
To see all my work please go to my ‘Gallery”
Funny how things seem to workout. Recently I had a fall and broke my arm.
I have been wanting for ages to update my” Gallery” but, always find it too hard to drag myself away from the studio. Since breaking my arm though, I’ve had too slow down and take it easy. Over the past few weeks I have managed to use the computer with my left hand to upload more paintings, drawings and sculpture for you to browse.
I offer all my art at studio prices, eliminating huge gallery and agent fees.
Saving you $100’s…
Please see Buyer Info
If you have any questions or would like to see a high resolution photo of a piece, please contact me at Outlook8studio and I will do my best to help you.
Hope you enjoy !
