Ink and Artifact

Fine Art Mat Included — Ready for Your Own Frame

This original mixed-media collage features over 11 intricate layers of hand-placed collage strips, stenciling, ink distressing, splatter paint, and others. The final studio layers were sealed in coffee-dyed tissue paper, distressed, and fully treated with an archival topcoat to protect the fine details from dust and fading. The composition balances moody purpley undertones with soft highlights, creating a beautifully integrated background grid. On this specific piece, the bold black lettering is softer and less prominent, allowing the delicate vintage stamps and hand-texturized paper fibers to take center stage.

Secured inside an elegant 5x7 white mat board, this original work represents 30 years of passionate creative experience. It comes ready to slide straight into your choice of standard frame and is designed for fluid display, allowing you to showcase it in any direction you prefer. For creative inspiration, my personal suggested orientation is titled, signed and dated on the reverse side. Each keepsake remains a true labor of love from my studio bench to your home.
