Story / Additional InfoThis work is an example of the artist’s painted collage series. She works from a collage of xeroxed images, tissue paper and other printed textures and paints with oils in the final stage. This work also has an impasto surface that gives it a rich, textural quality. This art piece is semi-abstract, with some recognizable subject matter, a hint of a window with a curtain to the side ( a signature element of this artist).
The dragon fly is an actual one collaged into the work. The repeated bubble pattern textures here can be found in other works of hers. There is the feel of a warm, lazy summer day
with a dragon fly suddenly appearing at the window.
