Asian Mixed Media Art

Thank you for sharing what you’re reading and why yesterday. I’ve added a number of the books you mentioned to my library list.

Last September I wrote about creating your own wall art in my post about Loving Your Home. Here is a series of multimedia art pieces recently created by Jen for her kitchen. All photos are Jen’s and used with her consent.



Jen is a young woman with a great enthusiasm for life and a willingness to learn, just thinking about her makes me smile. Inspired by another artist, she created her own art using paper and paint.


Bowl

The larger pictures are 13-inches square and the smaller pieces 9-inches square.


Pitcher

There’s both a soothing simplicity and a subtle complexity to these works.


Chopsticks

The small white leaves on the flowers in the vase are actually paper. I love the textural elements that give these pieces depth while maintaining the integrity of the design simplicity.


Cup

I love the way she’s featured each kitchen item in color in contrast to the black-and-white vase of flowers. It makes for a lovely balance, I think.


Sake Cup

The constancy of the vase of flowers anchors the grouping.


Teapot

Jen cut her own mats and framed the art pieces herself, useful (and less expensive) skills I need to learn.


Teapot 2

I love the way Jen took an idea that resonated within to create something of beauty for her kitchen that reflects her own personality.
