The Saffron Gatherers 40x30 Acrylic, acrylic matte gel, molding paste, charcoal, inkjet transfer on panel.
The Saffron Gatherers is inspired from an ancient fresco in ancient Akrotiri, which is modern day Santorini. Using drawing, painting, inkjet transfers and many, many layers of acrylic medium, I have created a distressed, encaustic-like effect.
At this time, this series is being produced for my July, 2024 exhibition at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
