Spring green Print

Spring green, A old abandoned dirt road lined with spring wild flowers. A beautiful spring day. I do a lot of Hiking in Michigan, Spring is one of my favorite seasons. This artwork is made from a photo I took on a early foggy morning Spring hike. New green leaves budding on the trees all colorful and bright from a recent Spring rain shower. One of those Spring mornings that fill you with the joy and excitement of finally being outside again after a long winter. This image combines photography with mixed medias. I add water colors,acrylic painting and pastels to my images after printing. As principle owner of Dahlia House Studios, Gina Ayers Signore is a Professional Artist and photographer who creates images using a variety of mediums, including acrylic Paper Collage, Acrylic Painting and digital altered Fine Art photography with mixed medias added. Gina combines her artistic sensibilities with her affinity and passion for nature and Color to produce unique perspectives in both her fine art and photography. I have been around art my entire life. My Grandfather loved cameras and would let me have his old ones to use. My Father was a painter and glass artist and was always working on something in his studio and would let me and my brother and sisters get involved. My Mother had a beautiful garden she would work in and started me on that lifelong love. I earned a BFA in the 70's with a Major in painting and minors in drawing and printmaking. I now live in Michigan. My art provides me with a freedom of expression into what I value and enjoy. A majority of my images are discovered and captured during the many hours hiking through the natural setting of southwest Michigan, with additional inspiration provided from my own personal extensive gardens, Farm and koi ponds, and are produced in my home Art studio.
