EXHIBIT OPENING: Joan Onofrey: Reimagination

Joan Onofrey is a collage artist and art educator. Over the past several years, collage has been Joan’s favorite art medium. Sometimes referred to as, “painting with paper,” Joan creates her art with paper, fabric, threads and recycled items along with a whimsical point of view. Her collage mantra is: "Reinvent, Repurpose, and Reimagine”.
