Blossom of Gratitude
This is a conceptual and experimental piece I created. It is a mixed media piece on canvas, with acrylic paint, papier-mache, sulphite board, glue, plastic and aerosol paint. The world and society have made all the necessary changes, humans have become the true custodians of earth. Society has begun to function on a higher level and the triple bottom line is the truest measure of success. Environments and habitats are growing and thriving.

This canvas consists of acrylic paint, oil pastels and aerosol and was an experimental piece to kick off the New Year. I enjoyed making it and tried to convey my enthusiasm and hopes for the new decade in this piece. At this specific time positivity was at an all time high, however little did we know a few short months into the future a world wide pandemic was about to break out and make a huge impact on all of our lives.
