Biography:
Angelica Paez has been making collages for many years. As a child she had a love for construction paper and enjoyed cutting out make-believe scenes using her mother's catalogues and magazines. Little has changed since then, except now she uses sharp scissors. All of her work is cut and paste with no digital manipulation. She mainly uses old papers and ephemera found at secondhand markets.
