Garden View - Oxeye Daisy

Sue Ellibee’s collages are a vibrant extension of her lifelong passion for graphic design, translating her mastery of color and texture into a fresh interpretation of nature. Using painted papers and textures crafted from recycled grocery-store bags, she layers delicate materials over kraft paper backgrounds to create intricate floral compositions. Each piece simplifies and reimagines the natural landscape, turning everyday materials into extraordinary visual experiences.

Having recently returned to her Wisconsin roots after nine years in Georgia and Tennessee, Ellibee’s work reflects both the joy of coming home and the wonder of seeing familiar surroundings with new eyes. Her collages capture the beauty of the Midwest through a lens of discovery, inviting viewers to experience nature in a playful, tactile, and deeply personal way.
