Atmospheric Rivers
Atmospheric Rivers, aka "rivers in the sky,” fascinate me. I love weather and extreme climatic conditions, especially of the saltwater variety, with heavy rain and wind. While I know that weather is becoming more severe, unpredictable and destructive due to climate change, coastal storms energize me and inspire my creativity. These mixed-media pieces are made with layers of scroll-cut wood, painted with watercolor and acrylic inks and then collaged with meteorological charts from the atmospheric river portal on NOAA’s website. This is an going body of work.
