Description
Be Still And Know is an original collaborative painting on paper that includes collage, canvas, acrylic and other media. It speaks to artists, seeking insight, friendship, trust, and seeing the best in others. The piece includes marks from several participating guests.
Add Your Mark is a series that I started in 2024. As an intuitive artist, I paint in response to the stimuli of my environment, including memory and emotion that are often hard to label with words.
In this ongoing series, I invite others to add their mark to my work. I finish the art piece, which then reflects my process, the friendship of guests, and honor, as I strive to respect our mutual intentions to create something unique and special that will benefit others.
I brought supplies to various events where guests used paint, and other media to add their marks. The invitation to participate in the series is ongoing, and open internationally. One does not need to be present to send their mark to me. I had a social media friend participate from 3k miles away. She mailed handcrafted clay elements, and other items that I used for collage, process, and inspiration.
Your marks could be a song or poem that I could listen to or read, or a story that might inspire me, or any message or element. As long as the intention is to join with my creative spirit to create something unique that will benefit others. I invite YOU to participate.
Be Still And Know is a 9×12″ original collaborative painting in the Add Your Mark series using canvas, collage, acrylic and other media on Canson 136″ Oil & Acrylic paper.
