When I first moved my studio to Wisconsin I had a hard time adapting. A wise mentor of mine said that I needed to start painting my surroundings. But I’m not a landscape painter so what can I do? That is when my equally wise husband said paint the land from above. Hello google earth. This triptych Sense of Place is a mixed media piece that shows the contours of the land including the Trembelle River from above my studio. Materials include paint, burlap, torn and stitched canvas.
