Amanda Hobbs, creating under the name Mixed Matter Collage, produces analog works from her studio near Edmonton, Alberta. Her practice is defined by a process she describes as "paper hunting-gathering-weaving," where she repurposes vintage materials and fashion-inspired elements into tactile compositions. Originally a student of film, Hobbs shifted her focus toward the still image and photography before finding her niche in the art journaling community. Her work serves as a meditative exploration of mental well-being and mindfulness. By constructing layered "inner landscapes," she uses the creative process as a tool for personal healing. This focus on the internal experience has led to her recognition within the Get Messy Art platform, where she has shared her techniques as both a featured artist and an instructor.
