Exploration of family biography and memory has been the genesis of my recent mixed media collages. Many of the images are family photographs and the text is a combination of memory and imagination–family fables, traditions, words of wisdom, and whispered rumor. I teach art and art education at the University of Idaho and am currently on sabbatical spending time painting in Italy and as a guest resident artist in Taiwan. www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~sallymac/
