"Galactic Sea" I 2019 I  22 x 28inches - one of a kind print - Japanese Marbling, Ink on Hand Crafted Mixed Media Paper. 100% Cotton
 
* Matted & Framed in Natural Oak Frame. Signed and Ready to Hang!
 
This is work from my TidePools Collection, a body of work using Suminagashi, the ancient art of Japanese marbling. While floating ink on water, shapes form and dance. I capture each image by immersing special paper on the surface, creating these unique prints.
 
My connection to water and creation never ends. Imprinted from my youth, I spent a lot of time being immersed in oceanic life, taking in countless sunsets, noticing low tides leaving sand formations on the bayside, and then being swallowed up by the ocean at high tide. I dripped wet sand into castles, collected driftwood, and sea glass the ocean had formed into soft gems. Now a seaside Californian, I continue to find my muse in the ocean.
 
The elements of color, nature and emotion come together to create each piece. It is my hope that the work touches, inspires and heals.
