About the print:
This is a professionally printed giclee produced from one of my drawings. The print is made with UV pigmented inks that are
lightfast and durable, rated to last 150-200 years. The artwork is printed on white, fine art 210 g/m2 matte watercolor paper by
Hahnemuhle . The paper is acid-free with 50% rag. It has a natural white finish with a slightly-structured soft-textured surface.
There is a 1" border around all four edges of the artwork, allowing for easy matting and framing.
About the artwork:
I
spent 3 months during the summer of 2006 on a beautiful
hilltop in southern France, surrounded by lush views
and plenty of nature. My abstract paintings have been
heavily influenced by these panoramic surroundings
as well as my up-close observations of plants and
insect life. I have termed my new series of nature-based
abstracts my Anicca series. Anicca is a Pali
term meaning impermanence. Like the Impressionists,
I am deeply influenced by the changes in the scenery
around me caused by the changing position of the sun
and atmospheric changes such as wind, rain, and fog.
These paintings depict the ever-changing quality of
nature; its unpredictability, raw form, and constant
flow. This painting depicts streams of water flowing
through the element of earth - rocks, stones, minerals,
and the things that live amongst them - flowers, plants,
weeds, bugs. Certain elements of this painting resemble
trails made by water or snails.
