In 2000, after years of collecting decorative paper, she realized it was time to put her paper to use. With scissors and acrylic medium she has created a new venue for her love of design and color. As a result, she is currently pursing a second body of original and recognizable art. Her collage work can currently be found in various galleries and boutiques around the country. Recent projects include the release of picture books Bella and the Bunny, Kids Can Press,
2007, Trout are Made of Trees, Charlesbridge, 2008, and Big Earth Little Me, Cartwheel Books, 2009, Where’s the Party, Charlesbridge, 2010. Papyrus will release a line of Kate Endle Collage note cards in Autumn 2009.
