Ripple Effect5x7 cyanotype, watercolor and pencil on 140lb watercolor paper. Artist signature on front. Framed in a 11x14 composite frame, with an archival textured matte board. This piece was dyed in the sun, bathed in water, painted on, drawn on, and carefully sealed with wax. This piece is part of the Golden Threads sub theme. In the foreground you see the threads come together as if theyre doing a dance. Each thread represents people, they come together for a

of love and light

like that of a dream

each holding its own little whisper of truth

Mounted on wood

Flowers dance across the paper

I chose to paint the snowdrop in two styles

and in that glow

The practice is built on the idea that embracing flaws and imperfections leads to a stronger and more beautiful piece

I’m so grateful

After spending some time on the beach collecting rocks for painting inspiration

Even in the deepest seas
