The Art of Collage
February Artist-in-Residence Program
with Tracy Van Buskirk
​
Tracy Van Buskirk, a relief print artist, will be in residence focusing on the art of collage.
Working in linoleum block printmaking for the past few years, Tracy is excited to switch gears and work in the world of cut and torn paper. Block printing requires planning and meticulous execution while creating compositions in collage is more spontaneous and introduces many new variables. Tracy is keeping open the possibility of combining collage with printmaking for some unique pieces.
Her residency coincides with an Instagram challenge called “Februllage” (#februllage2026) in which online participants are given daily prompts to inspire a collage each day. Tracy will use this as a jumping off place. Her collage materials will include sources such as library catalogue cards, architectural drawings and even some letters and drawings from the Deer Isle Granite Company.
She is looking forward to having the gallery’s large space to set up several tables and spread out her materials and not have to put them away every day!
The gallery will be open to the public Monday–Friday, 1–4 PM or whenever the OPEN flag is out. Please stop in to say hi, see what Tracy is up to or even bring some interesting papers for her to use!
