Collage artist Jean Conner says she has no idea why she chooses her startling images. That may be why they're so powerful:
I didn’t decide to study art in college. Everyone in the family decided that was what I was going to do. I had taken art classes at the University of Nebraska on Saturdays when in junior high school. I also took an art class in eighth grade, and when I began an art class in ninth grade, the eighth grade art teacher asked if I would assist her with the eighth-grade class, which I did.The professors at the university were mostly young men.
How much did the 19th-century Victorian craft traditions of collage inform your work? Were you consciously trying to reclaim a practice that had been relegated to the realm of “women’s work” as a “proper” art form? It was not difficult to find space or time to do work. I had a drawing table of my own and worked small. Time? Do I want to spend the time reading or doing my work?.

Bruce was the money-maker. I was just a back-up, working in part-time jobs. After our son was born, that changed. Bruce didn’t want me working. He often arranged for me to have shows in a library, coffee shop, and bookstore,I really didn’t try to get into galleries. I was invited to join a women’s gallery, but felt it wasn’t for me.told me she liked my work but, since Bruce was in her gallery, she wouldn’t show it.
