7.5 square inch artwork matted and framed to be 13 inches square. Collage of Japanese Ogura Lace paper (hemp), decorative paper, and hand-painted watercolor paper. Saw tooth on back to hang.
Part of a 14 painting series, The Seashell Collection. Based on a trip I took in the summer of 2023 to Cape Code for the first time. I was drawn to the multicolored seashells on the beach and since I had never painted seashells before, decided to create a seashell collection. I initially thought I would paint exotic shells I could find in museums but I decided to stick to the humble shells I had found on the beach in Cape Cod and highlight their quiet beauty. I used colorful cardstock as backgrounds and decorative papers with natural fibers to add more color and texture to these pieces. I hope this collection helps you appreciate the beauty and elegance of the shells scattered across your favorite beach and evokes summer memories of sandy and salty days.
