Felicità

'Felicità' is a mediation of hope, wholeness, and joy.  This painting came to me at a time when I was coming out of a challenging period of my life.  I was torn between emotions and I decided to actively choose a path of happiness and self-healing.  This piece represents positivity, finding purpose, and choosing to believe that there is always beauty and happiness to be discovered if you can take the time to look. 

This painting is a part of my Flowerscape Series: a collection of marbled paintings inspired by the organic and spontaneous shapes created while marbling paper.  Marbling is the ancient practice of floating paint on a bath of seaweed water and using combs and tools to create a unique, unrepeatable print.  My aim in making this series is to combine the natural and unpredictable movements made by marbling on water with the intentional placement of playful botanical shapes, capturing the motion of flowers dancing in the wind.
