The ArtDivas
work individually
and collaboratively
to create richly textured
works of art,
utilizing the disciplines
of multi-media,
collage, and assemblage.

"She's An Open Book"
Collaborative work by The ArtDivas

The ArtDivas are
Ann Jacobs,
Annie Johnson,
Janet Manalo,
Robin Rossi,
Anna Maria Sablan,
Brigitte Sukeforth,
and
Ramona VanDeberg.

We are women with diverse backgrounds, influenced by decades of active involvement in the visual arts. We are interested in exploring the creative process we call ART. As a collective, our work reflects the beauty and spontaneity of richly textured mixed-media assemblage and collage.

Our collaborative artwork, the result of the seven artists working together in several stages, exemplifies the strength of the ArtDivas' creative minds. We have extraordinarily amazing conversations when we get together, which is reflected in our artwork.

"Her Third Season", "Leap of Faith" and "She's An Open Book" were each created over a period of several months. The imagery evolved as we worked together, experimenting with textures, color, and layout. These collaboratives speak to the facets of career, personal ambitions, dilemmas, and maturation in the lives of ALL women.
