This piece is from a series I began as part of The One-Hundred Day Challenge. Artists around the globe join in for a personal boost to propel their art practice, but also to do it in community and share their process. The challenge I derived for myself was to break it up into 5 - day parts and work on small mixed media paintings and “force myself” to put them aside after the 5th day. Then repeat the process until the 100 days were up. Of the MANY pieces I created, some made it to the finish line and became worthy of a ‘finished work’. This is One!

This piece began with collage; I’m using a selection of scrapbook paper and my handmade Gelli-prints and then adding intuitive mark making and painted layers. I knew this piece made the cut because I saw the story. When I was 14, my family took a trip to Kauai and my most important goal was to get the best tan of anyone at home. Guess what? It rained almost every day!

And then there was coffee, my sweet, sweet introduction to coffee. Aloha and good morning!

I use high quality, professional grade acrylic paints and mediums, oil sticks, as well as top quality substrates and acid free paper. I make most of my own collage papers using the same paints as the final paintings. If there is vintage collage, it will be layered over with protective UV mediums to ensure the color stays as true as possible. However, the natural aging of the vintage papers is to be appreciated for its imperfect beauty.

Each painting receives an isolation coat prior to a wax finish, or UV varnish in matte, satin, or a combination of both. Cradled panels will be finished in a polyurethane or hand-painted to showcase the art. Frames are finished in a poly finish as well, or hand-painted and will be described as such under Description.

All artwork comes ready to hang with d-rings, coated wire and is signed on the front and/or the back. Each piece also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
