Stolen

$315.00
SOLD

I am fortunate to live in a place that is home to many native tribes: The Karuk, Hupa, Tolowa, Wiyot, and Yurok. And yet, these tribes had their land and very lives stolen by settlers years ago. This painting honors the tragedy and also the perseverance of the souls both living and passed. May we all never forget who resided on these lands before us.

description & details

12 x 12 inches

Acrylic and Mixed Media on deep Cradled Panel

Warm tones of Nickel Azo Gold, yellow ochre, indian yellow, black and paynes gray. Delicate marks in cobalt blue show through in smaller places.

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.
