Anita Muise is a self-taught artist and also ex - librarian who embraced mid-life crisis, dropped out of the corporate world, and moved to non-urban New Hampshire to end up artistically self-employed. She is now the force behind AnitaNH: Collage & Life blog. She make use of postage stamps and ticket stubs, old photos, book jackets and covers, little items along with numbers on them, anything old and unusual that adds fascination and helps the story. Recently she has been making use of more scanned images of items in place of the original. Her librarian side takes over deeming certain items just too precious to be indelibly converted into collage art. Along with keeping the original, scanning also makes it possible for formation of several images, along with alterations in color and size.
