Original mixed media paintings with acrylic, cloth, papers, threads, and strings on canvas.

Santa Cruz Love Note is filled with many of the places and things I love about living in Santa Cruz County, California. There is so much to love about this area: There’s the redwoods, the hiking trails, the trees, the coast, the beaches, the arts, the people, the natural beauty, and so much more. In the lower right hand corner of the painting I’ve attached something of a love note to Santa Cruz. These words are somewhat visible under the paint. The three cut and frayed layers of cloth are the main focus of this painting. They’ve been individually painted and sewn together before stitching the trio onto the back canvas. Once all the pieces were attached, the text was added.

As I worked on this painting, my appreciation for the area increased even more than when I began.

The sides of this gallery wrapped canvas are painted to match the painting. It is signed and dated on the side of the canvas.
