Mixed Media / Abstracts

36" x 36" Mixed media on wood panel Is there a date that is particularly intriguing to you - where things seems to start and end, or where they begin again, where they offer new chapters and new paths? This poetic painting was prompted by the experience of how, over time, we may completely change the way we relate to a particularly "emotional" day in our lives.

40" x 30" Mixed Media on wood panel. (Many!) Layers of acrylic, paper, book pages, letters, tissue paper and graphite. Although we may have a destination in mind when setting out on a journey, we often don't know exactly where we'll land. It may feel magical, disruptive, uncomfortable, or remind us of home. It may look unfamiliar, oddly colorful, just right, or call up the vaster universe that we inhabit. Indeed our landing may embody all of those qualities. Each of us who has set course for the sun naturally finds ourselves, from time to time, bumping up to a new horizon, perhaps where we can see agricultural fields of poetry below or be called to contemplate the ocean's spray as it becomes one with the galaxies above. Life is like that! $2300

20" x 20" Mixed Media on cradled wood panel The work is inspired by Ellen's interest in the nature of the mind, and how as humans we inevitably and habitually are actually driven by certain thought patterns and behaviors. Our "stories" refer to those habitual stories we tell ourselves or operate from. They make for a fascinating artistic starting point from which to explore places and spaces where we can break free from those patterns and their grip on us. Layers of paper and fabric atop acrylic adds a rich textural and dimensional visual quality. $695

30" x 40" Mixed Media on wood My abstracts and mixed media paintings explore the nature of the mind, the patterns that drive us, and the search for wholeness in the midst of our busy lives.
