The Melbourne-artist's collages are built from years of carefully collecting images from magazines, prints and packaging.

If you’re a contemporary art fan, chances are you’ve heard of Melbourne-based collage artist Elizabeth Gower. With a career spanning nearly 40 years, her list of achievements and awards is longer than some of her works (one piece, for example is 21 metres long). Elizabeth carefully collects and recycles images from prints, magazines and packaging to create each of her stunning hand-made collages – no lazy Google Image searches here! We especially love her Chance or Design series from the mid-'90s, showcasing all things flora and fauna.
