Mary Delany

While researching the history of collage for a project lesson I am about to teach, I ran across a very interesting female artist I have never heard of before.  Her name is Mary Delany.  She created beautiful intricate botanical collages way before Picasso or Braque.  And she started her artistic endeavors late in life.  This blog shares a bit about her life and a book called The Paper Garden about Mary and her art.  On my way to the library this week to check it out!
