The Wanderer Painting

This painting is mix medium on high quality watercolor paper, artist signature is on front and back, ships in a box. This painting is also available in a variety of prints on paper. My work draws inspiration from the idea that everything in nature is connected to everything else. Through carefully chosen materials, and mediums, compositions begin to encompass a journey through a multitude of layers that combine unconventional methods, gradually revealing a history of spatial interpretations. I explore space and form by intertwining markings with layers of paint and subtle transparencies, leading to the intersection of abstraction and the natural world. During the painting process, I am mapping out the underlying paint layers, collage, and drawing mediums. While some of this process is predetermined, other aspects arrive organically through subtracting and adding, carving, and peeling away paper and paint to reveal earlier parts of the work. My interest in transforming discarded things into art, is indicative of my upbringing where environmental consciousness was daily practice. The resulting multi-layered two-dimensional and repurposed three-dimensional works are metaphors for survival and hope, they serve as windows into natural landscapes and urban spaces, with pollution and consumerism hanging at the edges.
