Autumn

One of four in a series, TREES: The Four Seasons, the work was especially created in 2016  for Atlanta’s Blue Heron Nature Preserve Gallery show, “Hidden Gem/Haven,” co-sponsored by WCAGA. The process to create the trees used the traditional Polish paper cutting method called wycinanki, using folded paper to from symmetry patterns and compositions by drawing with one’s scissors without breaking any lines in the design. That year WCAGA’s (Women’s Caucus for Art – Georgia) “Art in Activism” focused on the topic of “Tree Speak” to bring greater awareness to saving the destruction of too many trees being cut down in residential neighborhoods to make way for development.
