Andrea Lamarsaude, Tranquility - watercolor, acrylic ink, oil pastels, ink pencils, dried flowers and collage on watercolor paper, 24x24 in. framed. $1,000

I was in a meditative state of mind when I created this piece. I wanted to paint a place in nature that was free of any negative energy — a transformative space that inspires tranquility and peace.

Displayed in the 2022 Fresh Faces 2x2 exhibition at the Bath House Cultural Center.

Artist Statement
I am a mixed media artist and enjoy using a variety of mediums in my art; acrylics, oil pastels, watercolor, alcohol and India inks, hand-painted papers & collage elements, photos, image transfers, and mark-making tools. I love to combine and contrast fluid, free flowing layers of watercolor with hand-painted papers and collage elements to create intuitive and expressive nature inspired works. My imagination, emotion and life experience guide me in my process to paint memorable creations that reflect joy.

I strive to emulate the beauty, splendor and exquisiteness of our world and the sense of happiness it can bring us.
