Overview

Balancing detail with negative space.

This series is a small trove of water-colour crystal studies painted back in 2014. Each sheet focuses on a single specimen that all float on soft backgrounds.

It's detail, but there is something more that comes through than just an observation. There's a bit of her “peace, planet and cosmic wonder” philosophy relfecting in the works.
