BIO

Rita Yanny has exhibited her collages and paintings in galleries and museums in Japan and in the United States. Her mixed media pieces explore and translate expressive and energetic qualities. Rita is a visual arts educator and a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Her collage technique includes combining photo fragments, drawings, prints, cloth, and repurposed materials with a variety of media, including paint, pastels, and ink. She also writes as part of her creative process, embedding words in the layers of her textured pieces. The surrealistic quality of Rita’s final images allows the viewer to embrace many interpretations and possibilities of meaning.
