Balloontown is a 12 x 24 inch torn-paper collage on canvas inspired by the small seaside towns of Long Island’s North Fork. Constructed from layered fragments of paper, the work combines vivid color, textured surfaces, and whimsical architecture to create a landscape that feels both familiar and dreamlike. Brightly colored houses gather beneath a luminous sky while tiny figures move quietly through fields and gardens below. A drifting hot air balloon adds a sense of imagination and freedom, transforming the scene into a meditation on memory, community, and the quiet enchantment of coastal life.
