Sold! Resilient Fences #1

Sold! Resilient Fences #1 will be hanging at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) Inpatient Building in Boston, MA in the very new future. It will be framed, I assume to hang vertically, but I actually don't know for sure. I would like to thank BostonArt for this wonderful opportunity! I'll share photos when I have them.

Resilient Fences #1 is mixed media on stiffened fabric, and is 56” x 24".

New Work in a Series: Resilient Fences 2

Here is a second painting in a series I’m working on entitled "Resilient Fences”. 

Resilient Fences 2 measures 24” high x 57” wide and is mixed media on stiffened fabric. Or, it can be rotated and shown vertically as per below.

See Resilient Fences 1 on my website.

The Resilient Fences Series is created using monoprinted the textures of construction fences, combined with handpainting, handstamping and stitching, on stiffened fabric.

The title is a play on how resilient fences are as they hold up over time in various weather conditions, and how resilient I’ve been after some recent life situations.

New Work in a Progress: Resilient Fences 2

I was able to do some more work on the second painting in my "Resilient Fences” series. All of the colored, and black, stamped shapes are now collaged on the base fabric that’s painted, stitched and stiffened. I’m hoping that over the weekend I can start painting the sections of fabric that have the stamps in them. More photos soon.

New Work in a Progress: Resilient Fences 2

I’m working on the next painting in my "Resilient Fences” series, Resilient Fences 2. It’s going to be similar to Resilient Fences 1  but with colored stamped shapes too, not just black. The base fabric is painted, stitched and stiffened. Over the weekend I handstamped the rubber eraser shapes. Next steps are cut the individual shapes out, place them on the base fabric, and then collage them to the fabric. More photos soon.

Below is Resilient Fences 1. Read about it here.

New Work in a New Series: Resilient Fences

Here is a new painting in a series I’m working on for a solo show this fall. The series is entitled "Resilient Fences”. 

Resilient Fences 1 measures 24” high x 56” wide and is mixed media on stiffened fabric. Or, it can be rotated and shown vertically as per below.

The title is a play on how resilient fences are as they hold up over time in various weather conditions, and how resilient I’ve been getting through some recent life situations. I don’t intentionally bring my personal life into my artwork but I feel that at least in the title I want to.
