Space Explorers

Space Explorers 
mixed media: reclaimed wooden frame, watercolor & ink

 I made this mother & baby space whale pair as a gift for my mom. Scorpius constellation for her Colorado home and Ursa Major for our PNW roots.

Undersea II: Narwhals & Icebergs

 
Undersea II, Narwals & Icebergs
mixed media: textbook on international law, LEDs, aluminum tape, acrylic paint, ink & watercolor

In my first attempt at a diorama, some of the detail of the watercolor was lost when the piece was backlit with LEDs. For this one I added aluminum duct tape to the opposite side of the background, and peeled it off in key areas to create a more specific lighting effect.
