Hope is Alive Painting #20

Bring layered color and texture to your space with this one-of-a-kind 15.5 × 15.5-inch mixed-media collage by Oklahoma artist Katherine Sanders.

Created with two pieces of handmade blue-and-green marbled paper and collaged acrylic paint, this original artwork has the tactile, unexpected character that makes the Hope Is Alive series so special.

Hope Is Alive Series

This series began during a playful weekend in the studio, when Katherine revisited paintings, paint palettes, and handmade marbled papers collected over many years. Some materials were nearly 30 years old. By combining these treasured remnants with new ideas, she transformed pieces from the past into expressive works about renewal, creativity, and hope.

Every piece in the series is unique. Look closely for handmade marbled papers, dried studio paint, fragments of paintings, and other found materials. Many works are sculptural, with unusual textures and details that reward a closer look. Each is made with care by Katherine Sanders.
