Story / Additional InfoThis artwork won a first prize in a juried show at the Sorenson’s Gallery in Fresno, CA in November of 2023. The artist worked from sketches she had made from a sketch class she took part in some years before. After an initial sketch of the figure, she worked with collage and finished with oil paints on top. The result is a painted collage, a medium the artist has found to be compatible to her way of working. The bright colors, with yellow dominating gives a sense of light pouring over the figure and into the space. The striped curtains are emblematic of other work by this artist and the sunflowers add to the sense of Joie de vivre felt at the start of a day that holds hope and promise.
