THE JOURNEY IS EVERYTHING

Picture

The Journey is Everything is a 5' x 4' mixed media artwork consisting of 27 panels 
reflecting my healing journey over the last year.  Each panel reflects a lesson learned, gift received or important
quality that was woven into the tapestry of my life during my recovery (or in all our journeys).  
For more info on my journey please visit [email protected]

The original tapestry has been purchased by a donor and the artwork now hangs at the Jonathan Jacques Cancer Unit at Long Beach Women and Children's Miller Memorial Hospital.


You can order smaller commissions of any panel or assorted groups of panels
 (framed or unframed/matted).  See choices and examples below.

Each piece is a 3d mixed media fine art original.  Foils, acrylics and lightweight metals are cut, fused together with heat, inlaid and sometimes painted for extra color and design.  The result is an image that is textural, dimensional, metallic and vibrant.


Please contact me at [email protected] for any questions or orders.  Thank you!
