Tide Pool Artwork

Acrylic, ink, gouache and paper collage on Arches watercolor paper. In this mixed media collage-painting, scraps of vintage ephemera, printed or hand-drawn elements combine with painted birds and florals to tell a story as they are layered and adhered onto paper. This work is part of my series named “Low Tide.” This series asks the question– what if we were all gone, but our possessions remained? Perhaps they would wind up washing ashore at low tide, with birds foraging them. All of our possessions and memories are part of the perpetual cycle of life found throughout nature. No where is this more evident than at the waterfront in tide pools along beaches, and other water ecosystems where decay and regeneration occur vividly. Ships unframed. Certificate of authenticity and my framing recommendations are included. Signed on back.
