Making of Above the Flow

​Above The Flow
This piece started after a Master Class with Matt Tommey in North Carolina. When I wasn't broadening my Artist mind at the mastery program I was touring the River Arts District and heading to the trails to check out water falls. I met so many amazing artists and made some new artist friends.

After some great advice, I decided to dump my frames and go free form. I have always loved how I can marry my sculpture with my watercolors. But I have been limited by shadow box frame sizes.
​

Above The Flow was inspired by the beautiful waterfalls of Asheville North Carolina along with my spiritual artist growth from the master class. The piece started with a pile of junk mail that I shredded and made into free form paper sheets. Once the paper was dry I layered pieces & added color. The waterfall was the first to show up then above the waterfall a human form joined the piece by rising up above the flow.
