About this artwork

Dragonflies are special to me--my one and only tattoo is of a dragonfly. They represent self realization, new beginnings and transformation. This mixed media encaustic painting is on a unique emerald shaped panel. The imagery contains sacred geometry and a dragonfly.  There is a beautiful gold iridescent veil that can be seen at different angles. There are gold paper accents and the edges are finished with 23k gold leaf. The background of the piece is made up of a variety of vintage ephemeral materials including old book pages, maps, letters and more. They quietly peek out in sections of the painting and are completely obscured in other areas. 

The artwork is on an octagonal cradled birch wood panel with the edges painted black. It is wired and ready to hang.
