About the Artist

Crystal Neubauer has been working as an artist for over a decade. She has dabbled in many mediums over the years, but always comes back to her first love, collage. She is drawn to the found, cast-off and well-worn materials of the past, seeing these items as a metaphor for our lives. She is the author of The Art of Expressive Collage: Techniques for Using Paper and Glue (North Light, 2015). She teaches workshops nationally and in her own studio in Racine, Wisconsin.
