Purple Mountains Majesty

Purple Mountains Majesty, October Art Exhibit
Purple Mountains Majesty
I work with found papers and papers with interesting textures. These coupled with hand painting, become my palette. Together with a vision in my mind's eye I shall never forget and a hope of returning again soon, my fingers rip and tear what my mind sees.
Why mountains? For me, the high elevation and thin air make it nearly impossible for me to breathe. Perhaps it is in these moments when I am surrounded by a beauty I feel surely what heaven must be like, I am reminded I am still alive.
As I work in my studio for hours painting papers to ripping said papers to gluing them down to create a painting, I cherish the opportunity to intertwine a bit of my soul to create a story within a painting. One only needs to step closer, hunt for the clues, and be open to how we are connected through something far more beautiful than my painting.

Is the piece framed?
Yes
What is the MEDIUM of the piece? (ie: acrylic, watercolor, mixed media, clay sculpture, etc.)
Mixed-media hand painted collage on a framed, wooden panel.
What is the inspiration behind your piece?
I am absolutely inspired by God's creation. The mountains are my first love with the ocean being a close second. This piece is one of many to come in a series of work I will call, "From Sea to Shining Sea".
