brown bags, handmade paper & acrylic on canvas

17 x 21″

I am taken aback by the beauty and intangible qualities of natural flora, the various textures, the amazing flowers and fruits and foliage, and most of all, the spectacular rejuvenation after what appears to be a most definite death in the bleakness of a cold dark winter. My artwork is made from simple materials and feature a pioneering collage application of acrylic paint, brown paper shopping bags and canvas. Inspired by nature’s beauty, my interest in this medium relates to the cycle of life and nature. The bags start out as trees, are made into paper bags, which I recycle, paint, tear, and collage into the image of the natural world which provided the original inspiration and energy.
