Miss.Printed
About

Miss.Printed is a Norwegian based artist who is filling the gap between Collage and Street art. She was born in the Netherlands on a car-free Sunday 1973. In the Netherlands she worked for many years at Knust, part of Art House Extrapool. Here she worked on many different art projects, mostly with mimeographing print (riso-print).
Summer 2007 she emigrated to Norway where she lives in a rural area. Her passion is “Locative Collage”. She makes small paper collages and photographs them in an outdoor setting that reinforces the story she wants to tell. She photographs her collages on location under adverse conditions. She loves to combine paper elements and its predators: water, fire, snow, wind and sky. In an urban environment she leaves her paper cuts behind. Leaving bits of sanity for others to reflect upon.
She believes in the accumulation of small gestures. The more we can engage people with our ideas, the more we can empower people to think, feel, dream, the better the world will be. Topics such as climate change, pollution, the loss of habitat and war are all areas that Miss.Printed as an artist is interested in. Interpretation is the key and so long as people smile when they see them, that’s all that matters.
She has been working with Locative Collage and collage since 2010. She has been a part of several exhibitions in Norway, Europe and USA. Her work has been acquired by museums and private collections as well as written about in art books and magazines. August 2016, she opened a museum, The Scandinavian Collage Museum. She is the founder of The Collageclub, an international group of collage artists.
She is also the founder of Project Paper Nation, a project which initiates collage/street-art projects around the world. Every February since 2019 she runs Februllage together with Rhed Fawell.
Often she gets messages from people who are inspired by her work and take their paper works outside to photograph. This makes her sing out loud in her little red house on a mountain in Norway.
