Valerie Mankoff
Collage and Mixed Media Paintings
New Jersey

Dr. Valerie Mankoff creates multimedia collages that integrate painting, illustration, found objects and printed materials, featuring rich color and varying texture.  These intimate pieces are personal yet also evoke themes relating to a collective unconscious where memories, dreams, aspirations, beauty, fears, sadness, and joy intermingle. Most pieces are inspired by significant others, locations and objects from both her childhood and adult life.
