Li’l k
I’ve been working on a new collage series titled Li’l k. All of the images are of me from my child hood circa early to mid 1970s. The fashion influence and blatant joy-of-being warms my heart. Check me out on IG @kathrynlissack. Each image is collaged and painted with acrylics on vintage paper, 14” x…What’s Been Going on These Days?
How time flies when you’re isolating! Winter is over, Spring sped by and summer is beginning to wane. I won’t bemoan the lack of diverse scenery or stimulating experiences this past year, because I know that I, and my family, are some the fortunate ones. We are still employed, healthy and safe in our community.…![embroidered word on linen napkin]()
Not Yo’ Granny’s Linen
For the past year I have been creating a new series. It's a complete departure from my other works. The timing of this couldn't have been better since it has provided me distraction and company while transitioning in and out and in of Covid stay-at-home mandates.

I am working on a new series with a working title of ABC. The theme, or unifying motif, is the alphabet as a cataloging device. Here's where that idea came from; I received a vintage accordion folder and I instantly fell in love with it. The card stock is about twice the thickness of contemporary…![]()

Happy, happy — summer is here!! Vancouver is a dream in summer. We are blessed with minimum humidity and very fresh air. And although I enjoy my Vitamin D fix, I also enjoy spending a bit of time indoors in the evenings to continue with my projects. Recently I created this sampler, below, to test…

Holiday Planning
Sorry if you’re not ready to read this, but I’ve been invited to participate in a private Christmas sale so I’m already in the head-space for “the season”. I’m creating six 6″ x 6″ collages all about food. Since food seems to be the on the mind of many of us when we celebrate together,…

It’s been a while…
Yikes time flies! How have I not shared with you for so many months? I have been very busy since we last visited. I have submitted a book proposal on the subject of collage and mixed media surface treatments. I won’t give it all away now, but I promise to keep you posted on the…

Oh the wonderful work of Tilleke Schwarz
I was in my element two weeks ago when I joined Tilleke and 13 other talented artists in an embroidery workshop hosted by the Maiwa School of textiles in their beautiful loft studio on Granville Island. Together we spent three creative days stitching, sharing and collaging wonderful nothings on cloth and with paper. I say…
