Explore












8"x8" mixed media: acrylic, glaze,coarse aluminum, iron oxide, gold mica, pearl mica, mother of pearl shells, misc. found shell, metal starfish, bead, and faux pearl cluster. This is a shimmering painting done in rich browns, coppers, golds, teals, and blues. The glimmering metallic flecks of crushed rock imitate the sand. They add a sense of elegance and a touch of nature to the piece. A compass with a mother of pearl center runs off the edge of the canvas. An underwater collage exudes tranquility and serenity mixed with a twist of excitement. This painting is LOADED with texture (the collage pieces stick out of the canvas at least 1 cm). It's soft brown background accents the sparkling stripe of blues... a whimsical touch for any space!
