For this year's Crawl I will just have come back from 6 months of living in Amsterdam and working as an artist. Not sure what I will be displaying. I may bring back work or it will be work I have made this last year here. Look forward to seeing you all and sharing my stories of living as an artist abroad. ***The images of the large assemblages are from Crawl 2011 and the framed pieces are from Crawl 2010. ***My collages are part of the permanent collections of the Percy Thomson Gallery, Stratford, NZ, Musee de art du collage in Sergines, France, Tsanko Lavrenov Fine Arts School Plovdiv, Bulgaria, 2010 Art Collage Plovdiv, and the Amarillo Museum of Art, Amarillo, Texas. *** I am an assemblage artist who uses found objects and my own photos in my visual memories called recollect. *** I can be reached at valeriearntzen@gmail.com.
