The Story Behind Your PaintingStamps are something special for me. As a collector, i've found countless stamps, with many being patriotic. Stamps are representations of many things, and throughout history, the United States has circulated different types of patriotic stamps. I love the powerful stories that stamps remind us of. As communication has grown to be mostly digital, stamps are now more precious than ever and are reminders of our patriotic postage of the past. I chose some of my favorites and recreated them into a collage, showing the diversity and the beauty of the American spirit.
