Meet Etsy Collage Artist: stilettoheights

Mixed media and collage artist Jennifer Gordon is originally from New Hampshire, but currently resides in Columbus Ohio. She was "transplanted here 4 years ago, and still feel like a fish out of water." Self taught, she jokes, "I think I picked up a lot through osmosis while working as an artist model in college." She studied acting "before retiring to the quiet life of a starving artist." Love is her inspiration - "more specifically unrequited love, I love the idea of longing for someone or missing someone. I love bittersweet love stories and that is what I am trying to convey with my work." She also has a fascination with "old photos, French wallpaper, manor houses that have fallen into almost ruin, handwriting, and fashion." She eloquently describes her style as "Neo-Victorian with a hint of melancholy and film noir." Although she's been collaging since she was a little girl, she became serious about it two and a half years ago. She has managed to turn her art into her career, but admits that it is "both scary and liberating." Today just happens to be her wedding day.
