Hope Is Alive #26

Hope Is Alive #26 is a one-of-a-kind mixed-media artwork measuring 16.5×19 inches. A three-dimensional heart made from dried paint chips extends from a handmade stone-marble paper mat, creating layers of color and unusual texture.

Presented in a gold frame, this piece rewards a closer look. You really need to see it in person to appreciate the depth, surface, and lively color created by the dried paint-chip heart and handmade paper.

Part of the Hope Is Alive series, created in the summer of 2025, this work brings treasured studio materials and handmade marbled papers into fresh compositions. Each sculptural heart is unique, shaped by experimentation, memory, and the freedom to create without expectation.
