Where Seraphim Come to Rest

Acrylic on up-cycled canvas

36” x 36”

2023

This painting Where Seraphim Come to Rest was created on a used canvas that I have up-cycled. The textures that were on the canvas became the starting point for my painting. I began by rolling on paint, adding and subtracting color until shape and forms appear and the image came together. My work is based on natural places that I find personally significant and my interpretations of them, whether real or imagined.

My artwork whether its watercolor, printmaking, oils or acrylics, are inspired by places I have visited and interacted with. My acrylic painting “Broken Tree Peninsula” is based on a photo I took while kayaking. While seeking shade I came across This little broken tree in the cove. I was impressed by the resilience and strength it showed after losing the larger more dominate trunk. With the use of acrylics and an up-cycled canvas with already beautiful underlying textures and colors, I hope to show that feeling of strength to the viewer by presenting the subject as a dominating force.
