Cut Paper Collage | Mixed Media on wood panel
Her process begins with painted or printed grounds layered with handmade, hand-painted, and found papers, including maps, which she cuts and assembles into imagined landscapes and garden scenes constructed in the studio rather than observed from nature. A master quilter, she came to painting through the spatial logic of fabric—the interplay of positive and negative space, light and dark, and the hard seam edge as a compositional tool. Recurring references to moonlight, stars, and night establish a consistent atmospheric register: imagined gardens at the edge of darkness.
“Each object in nature is individual and unique. I look at grasses, flowers, and seaweeds—capturing their beauty and combining them in a unique and playful world.” Ferron’s decades as a master quilter continue to inform her painting and collage practice, where paper, color, and shape define space through the interplay of light and dark.
