Being a nature lover I adore the work of Jamie Mills. Her drawings remind me of the beautiful and vast landscapes in North Central Arkansas. Now that I reside in the greater area of St. Louis I miss the hiking trails and rivers being but 10 minutes away from my doorstep. I paired one of her works (within the series “Elephant”) with a quote I found on her blog.

Work In Progress

A piece inspired by a Mumford and Son’s song “Sign No More” that beautifully expresses the liberating bond of an honest partnership. The final piece will be composed on the computer, printed on a white background bordered by a white matte, and held by a black frame (16 x 20).

More to come as the project progresses!

PAPER SHADES

Absolutely in love with the work of Netherland designers, Daniera ter Haar + Christoph Brach. Feeling more than inspired by natural color in the past month I commemorate these designers for combining old techniques with new; ” the classical medium of handmade paper with the contemporary production technique of laser cutting.”

Please visit their site to see more from this series!
