From the Forest Through the Trees
This piece came out of many layers of paint, sanding, scraping and adding collage until it reached the magical moment of completeness. Living amongst the majesty of the giant Redwood trees, in Humboldt county, California, is one of my biggest influences to be sure. I walk daily with my husband and dog through our local park and am continuously struck by the beauty of each tree within the forest.

description & details
12 x 12 inches
Acrylic and Mixed Media on Wood Panel
Framed in Natural Fish Maple Float Frame
There are a variety of blues here, from paynes gray to cerulean and prussian blue. There are touches of green gold and umbers to warm up the coolness of the blue.
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.
