Glory

"Glory" - watercolor on 140lb cold press - 18"x13.5" (unframed)

From a series I've entitled: "Freedom"... Birds are content creatures. In all the business they do in a day, they do so with playful: awareness, determination and daring. It is through their tireless model I find inspiration.

‘Freedom’ is a series of works that express, through the form of birds, my struggle as wife, mother and artist. Unorthodox inspiration from M.C. Escher explores confined spaces, while symbolic expressions of waiting and/or suppression, and passages of ‘breaking free’ fill my work.

The element of color saturation and material play a subtle, expressive part to my work. Wood or fiber=present reality, gold or silver=hope of the future, resin or wax=containment; degree of color saturation=degree of freedom. This series is primarily expressed through encaustic collage or watercolor.
