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 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 my 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
a whimsically abstract landscape writhing with
color and energy. This piece expresses the concepts
of growth, life, and change. Many shades of blue
and green are used to express the fresh flow of
rivers throughout the verdant landscape. Certain
elements can be interpreted as the leaves of plants
as well as roots growing in the soil. The colors
and designs of this piece whimsically express
a feeling of springtime and abundant growth.
