About “Bunny Dreams”

There are no incorrect answers when describing the scene in Bunny Dreams; a collage, cold wax and mixed media art piece that just happen to be collaboration between Linda Nunes and Peggy Colombo. It didn’t start out that way. It wasn’t really a planned alliance. Peggy started the piece laying down beautiful pieces of distressed papers and giving an outline for the great tree. She had also added warm colors to the sky. The piece was then given to Linda to finish. Collaboration is always a unique process between artists and not the first time for Linda. It’s a give and take where nothing can be precious to the artists involved.

When Linda received the piece it seemed magical, with a calling of sorts—to keep the whimsy and mystery that was already there. So, more color, more collage elements, and more paint were added, until the piece was finished to Linda’s satisfaction.
