Galvanized - Dimensional Tree Painting

*This artwork is currently in exhibition at Salt of the Earth in Fennville, MI. Please contact me if you have any questions, or would like to purchase this piece.

 

Galvanized is a dimensional tree painting with branches and leaves built onto the canvas, then brought to life with acrylics and sparkling crushed glass. The background is mottled shades of silver, giving it a galvanized steel look, capturing the feel of industrial elegance.

 

My inspiration for this piece was a decorative letter at the O.M.G. restaurant in Dorr, Michigan.

 

This artwork is constructed on a gallery wrapped canvas and is ready to hang with hardware attached.

As an artist, I find beauty in the imperfections inherent in the creative process. There's a certain excitement in the unpredictability of art-making, where each stroke of the brush or layering of different mediums brings forth a new challenge, a new emotion. I am at my happiest when I am immersed in this roller coaster journey, oscillating between confidence and uncertainty, knowing that in the end, it all converges into a harmonious whole.

As a mixed media artist, I am drawn to the tactile nature of art, where texture invites exploration and evokes a visceral response. I build each design by hand, incorporating richly textured elements that give depth and dimension, then bring the piece to life with acrylics and a modern rustic style. I enjoy the freedom of exploring various materials, blending colors in a balance that pleases the eye, and incorporating shimmer and shine to capture the light.

My artworks are a culmination of every creative technique I've learned throughout my life. I hope this journey to be my grand finale, a celebration of embracing imperfections, cherishing the process, and leaving behind a legacy of boundless creativity.
