When Venus Kissed The Moon Painting

My name is Brooke Sauer and I am a full time professional artist based in Los Angeles, California. My art practice is photo-based. When I am in the studio, I am working on a large body of analog cyanotype paintings, and when I am hiking and looking for inspiration- I always have my 35mm camera with me. My unique cyanotypes integrate science & art by combining a very old photographic printing process (cyanotype), with my background in painting and my love of botany and the outdoors. I paint with a photosensitive solution that reacts to UV rays, capturing the silhouettes of plants that I find & press from my hikes. The result is a range of beautiful blue hues when finalized with water. My artwork reflects on our symbiotic connection to nature and to a sense of place, memory, and desire. All of my paintings are created on beautiful, heavy printmaking paper that can withstand the rinsing from my multiple exposure process. When you purchase one of my paintings it will be delivered unframed and carefully rolled in a tube. I suggest taking it to a framer who will flatten it for you and frame to protect the life of the painting. Because I paint with a UV sensitive solution, I would highly recommend having your painting framed with UV resistant plexiglass.
