Madame Butterfly

“Madame Butterfly”. A 16 x 16 x 1.5 canvas mixed media painting on wood cradle board.  Acrylic portrait  collaged with fabric, mono prints, and handmade papers

I believe when the subject matter is a person, my role as an artist-is a storyteller. Mixed media is the perfect vehicle. The story began with a portrait and then, piece by piece it evolves with layers of  texture, mono prints, fabrics, and embellishments.  

This maker is busy embroidering..  She is loving capturing with each of her stitches the delicate beauty of her favorite motif – the butterfly. .
