The New York-based Artist mixes illustration, design, photography, and architecture to create unique collages that are full to the brim with patterns, textures, and colors. “I spent many years painting and drawing and occasionally collaging but I must say I didn’t throw myself into collage until a few years ago, well into my two decades of being a working artist,” she admitted in an interview with Metal Magazine. “So no, I didn’t do much collage of any kind while in school. It is still relatively young and new in my oeuvre.”

Her transition to collage art proved to be the right choice. The renowned artist has worked with giants like Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Le Monde; and her work has garnered awards from The Society of Publication Design, American Illustration, and Communication Arts.

Originally an acrylic painter, a bicycle accident forced her to find a way to make art that didn’t rely on just one hand and a brush. Now working primarily with scraps of paper, she makes complicated collages that have attracted clients like Philadelphia Magazine, Manifest, and The New York Times, proving that her change of direction was worthwhile.

Explaining her creative process with Ape on the Moon, Rio relayed: “I try to keep a variety of large colored paper that I tape against the wall as a backdrop. The perspective of my shot depends on the sketch, so there’s always a period of readjusting paper pieces, lights, and umbrella defusers to find the predetermined angle and focal point. Once I’ve found the sweet spot, I’ll shoot with my Canon Rebel T3. Then for curiosity’s sake, I’ll shoot with the lights hitting a different angle.”

“It may seem like a lot of time and energy for one illustration but it feels like play” she admitted. “There’s so much opportunity to get your mind off of things and forget about your surroundings.” Take a look at some of her playful creations in the gallery below.
