Michelle Caplan
After obtaining a BFA in Graphic Design at the School of Visual Arts, she worked in the Art Department at some of the top publishing houses in New York City designing a vast and varied number of book covers.
At a young age she developed a passion for the art of collage. Today her work is a reflection of that passion, melded with the graphic arts skills she honed during my tenure in publishing. Her education and work experience as a graphic designer have come together on the canvas in the form of Collage Portraiture.
The portraits bring life to photographic history, each piece with its own narrative; trying to the tell the story of the person behind the image. It can represent a link to a family’s past and provide a visual legacy for its future.
My commissions have included wedding portraits, pets, beloved automobiles and even a place of birth which holds a special meaning. She is constantly on the prowl for beautiful images in need of narration, and stories that need to be shared.
