I’m happy to share that my mixed media wood collage “First Green” was one of the winners of the “State of the Art” open call for art featuring Northern California at artrepreneur.com.

Working with pieces of a 325-year-old fallen tree had me thinking about life and the passage of time. I considered the annual cycles of growth and the unfurling and luxuriating in sunlight. In the spring, the new leaves are the brightest green-gold, and I thought of Robert Frost's poem, 'Nature's First Green is Gold.'
