The Great Collage Comeback!

Put Leo’s professionally photographed collage here. Stayed tuned for an original Leo Monahan collage, with a rare authentic signature of simply, “Leo” (the only known piece to be signed first name only!)

Leo Monahan had two nicknames while he lived in Western North Carolina, “Leo the Colorman” and “everyone’s friend.”

I’m Nancy Swift, and as Leo’s representative from 2014 to 2019, I marketed and assisted him with numerous collage workshops called The Unexpected Image in his studio and at local galleries, including Grovewood Gallery.

Welcome to your opportunity to learn what I learned from one of the great human artists, Leo Monahan. Sign up for an online workshop and see what your inner artist can reveal. Workshops are both virtual and online and allow you time in which to learn and practice. $59 for three hours. Packages available. Inquire.

THE UNEXPECTED IMAGE(s)

1st PROMPT = WHEELS
2nd PROMPT = CROW, BIRD

Workshops are freewheeling and set the table to invite the magic of The Unexpected Image. This piece, by Nancy Swift, was created on a day when Nancy was facilitating a workshop and two of the three suggested topics were “Wheels” and “Crow or Bird.” Drop in to see the 3rd prompt, or maybe you can guess it by sending a Contact form.
