 Regina Sender Levin is an American mixed-media artist specializing in photo collage and analog collage art, known for creating compelling, whimsical narratives that explore and embellish the human body. While historically rooted in her professional background in textile and knitwear design, her creative output is closely linked with community art hubs like the Arizona Collage Collective. [1, 2]

Artistic Philosophy and Style

• Narrative Assemblage: Levin utilizes printed images sourced primarily from magazines and random printed material to form stories that provoke thought and amuse the eye. [1]
• The Human Form: Her work largely uses the human body as a central platform, arranging elements to capture complex expressions or construct lighthearted, imaginative environments. [1]
• Aesthetic Anchors: She builds her pieces through a meticulous, meditative process of cutting, adding, and subtracting layers to experiment with depth of space, texture, and color. [1]

Professional Background and Education

Before pivoting to full-time collage artistry, Levin spent over a decade working professionally in the fashion and design sectors: [1, 2]

• Textile Expertise: She worked as a professional hand-knit designer, a background that directly influences the dense patterns and detailed embellishments found in her collage work. [1]
• Academic Credentials: She holds a Bachelor of Science in Clothing and Textiles from Syracuse University and a Master of Science in Textile Design from the University of Tennessee. [1]
• Influences: Her art practice draws heavily from historical 20th-century photomontage pioneers, particularly Hannah Höch and Kurt Schwitters. [1]

Exhibitions and Online Presence

Levin's artwork has been widely exhibited in gallery spaces and is featured in numerous private collections across the United States. She displays her digital portfolios, abstract series, and type-based collections directly on her official site, Regina Sender Levin Art. [1, 2, 3]
