 Bio: Selena Dixon was born in upstate New York in 1953. After graduating from Stony Brook University, she moved to Texas in 1975 to attend the University of Texas at Dallas for a graduate education in Geosciences. She has worked as a geologist until her retirement in 2013. Selena made quilts most of her life, learning and developing a love of color.

Artist Statement: Vintage, modern and hand-painted papers serve as the medium of choice and collage as the process. Patterned or printed papers taken out of original context compel the viewer to engage and develop a narrative full of questions and possibilities. A form often develops as color and shape is added and layered to build visual complexity.

Seemingly random juxtapositions of elements come together to create a new image and new meaning. For me, a successful work is one where you wish to linger.
