I wanted these rustic pieces to be robust so they are made on recycled wood found by the sea, but also gilded to honor the memory of time long gone. There is a lifetime of history and dreams in each piece. Each are finished with velvet ribbon and information plaque on the back side. Each is a one of one and will endure with quality for years to come.
So many things to paint, so little time. I have been playing with the inspiration of old abandoned places and art that has been left alone, transformed by time. I have created pieces that reflect this inspiration, blending it with the gorgeous sea side motifs. Each piece is a little treasure made just for you.
We were given a tour of the Bjarkøy Boat Museum and got to see the artifacts and relics of a fishing culture that still thrives on the island. There was so much to see in every inch of that place. Vintage sails, hand-spun ropes, hand-carved wood and dried fish. So many textures and so much history!
