Layered Gratitude

Fine Art Mat Included — Ready for Your Own Frame

Layered Gratitude is an original mixed-media collage. Hand-crafted with intricate depth, this work features over 11 detailed layers of hand-placed collage strips, stenciling, ink distressing, splatter paint, and others. The surface was beautifully finished with a layer of coffee-dyed tissue paper, distressed, and treated with an archival topcoat to protect the fine textures against dust and fading. The composition masterfully balances different rich shades of blue and organic greens, while hand-stamped "Thanks" elements pop through the design to reveal a quiet story of appreciation. Detailed line designs and complex brown squigglys flow across the grid, adding a captivating texture to the piece.

Backed by 30 years of passionate creative experience, this original 5 x 7 piece is secured inside an elegant whit paper mat, ready to slip straight into your favorite standard frame. It is designed so you can display it in any direction you choose. For inspiration, I have titled, signed and dated the back to indicate my personal suggested orientation. Each keepsake is a labor of love from my studio bench to your home.
