Along with traditional collages, Pat Street also makes digital collages. For these works, the collage elements are scanned into the computer, and arranged and altered in Photoshop. Finally, they are printed in small editions on special acid-free fine art paper using a high-resolution digital printer and an archival inkset. This page shows some of Pat's recent digital collages. Beside each small image below, you will find details about the elements used to make each collage.
