Pay attention to lines and edges in your surroundings. Notice how they define and impact space. For me, lines are sculptural elements that carve space into captivating forms.

Color creates the feeling and mood of a painting like no other element can. It sets the tone and all the other elements dance out from the color theme that is chosen.

Sacred Terrarium

Consider this painting autobiographical and incorporate symbolism that has special meaning to you, especially when you are stuck or unsure what to do next. At each phase, ask yourself, What do I love and cherish? This is a great way to find your unique painting style. Whenever I don’t know where to begin or what to do next, I think about what motifs, objects and colors I naturally gravitate toward.

Brooke’s representation of a container as a sacred vessel of motherhood inspires me to consider what is sacred in my own life. Using Alena’s mixed-media technique of collaging decorative paper in her work, we are going to create a terrarium that celebrates what we hold sacred.
