Instructor: Annie Decamp is a mixed-media artist whose work is grounded in 19th-21st-century historical research and imbued with a deep reverence for the connection between humanity and the natural world. Moving effortlessly between the joyful and the somber, Decamp explores the breadth of the human experience, creating works that invite viewers to discover multiple narratives and emotional truths within a single image.
Decamp’s work is collected throughout Colorado, the United States, and internationally, and has been exhibited in museums and galleries across Colorado. A dedicated educator, Decamp has taught extensively throughout the Denver metropolitan area, both from her own studio and at a variety of educational institutions, mentoring artists of all ages and levels of experience.
In addition to her studio practice, Decamp is the co-founder of Yard Art Contemporary, a successful Denver art movement dedicated to showcasing the work of fellow artists in an intimate environment that brings collectors and artists together while strengthening the regional arts community.

From Pablo Picasso and Hannah Höch to Robert Rauschenberg, collage has played an important role in modern and contemporary art—allowing artists to experiment with composition, imagery, color, texture, and unexpected relationships.
In this workshop, artist Annie Decamp invites participants to explore collage as both an accessible entryway into art-making and a powerful source of inspiration for the seasoned artist.
Drawing from Decamp’s own history of working in traditional collage, digital collage, and mixed media, the first class will focus on play and experimentation. Using found imagery and materials, participants will cut, layer, rearrange, and combine elements to create an original collage. The emphasis is on discovery rather than perfection—learning to trust the eye, follow intuition, and allow surprising combinations to emerge.
