Painting “Among the Green” allowed me to portray how I’m feeling using more abstract techniques. This painting started out as me trying to express my inner truest self. Where can I be that without fear of judgement? The forest.

Green to me is not just a paint color; it is a presence that pulses with life. It is in the towering trees, unfurling ferns, and carpets of moss where mushrooms and wildflowers bloom. Green holds the secrets of the forest. To me, being in the forest feels like stepping into a world where time slows down. The ground holds memories from a time long before I existed, inviting me to slow down and reconnect with my truest self. The trees do not care about my flaws or mistakes; they only ask that I respect the space we share. In the forest, I am simply another living being, part of the intricate web of life. Here, I do not have to pretend or perform; I can just be… among the green.

The 30 x 30” original painting is ready-to-hang and protected with a layer of varnish, complete with the artist’s signature and hanging wire already installed.. The creation process consisted of starting with a layer of acrylic applied with sponges, followed by a mixture of acrylic paints and hard molding paste to create abstract textures using a palette knife. I finished with brushwork to incorporate the more realistic details of some of my favorite things I often find in the forest.

Have you ever fallen in love with a painting, but couldn’t afford the original? I totally feel you so I’ve been working hard to come up with a more affordable way to make one-of-a-kind pieces of artwork for you! I’m so excited to release hand-embellished canvas prints of “Among the Green”! Each canvas is hand-finished with textured brushstrokes, molding paste, and metallic paint that catches the light, making it hard to tell from an original painting. These 24x24” hand-embellished prints are also varnished for a beautiful glossy finish and UV protection.

30×30” Poster Prints (same size as the original), as well as non-embellished canvas prints are available upon request! Please allow up to 2 weeks for the print shop to work its magic before shipping! At least another two weeks should be added with hand-embellished prints to ensure that they will be safely varnished and cured before shipping.

Made with lots of love! Thanks so much for your support! Please let me know if you have any questions or different size preferences!

The original painting is still available. Please contact me if this piece speaks to you and you are interested in owning the original!
