About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Alana Clumeck created this painting as a symbolic depiction of her experiences in the first few weeks of the COVID-19 shutdown in California. "With little human interaction for weeks, the hummingbirds in my garden were my friends," she says. "At night, my son and I would howl at the moon, like wolves in the wild. And with the borders closed to access my homeland, I left space in the painting portraying the mountains between my family in Australia and me."
About the Artist
Australian-born Alana Clumeck was raised by artistic parents who owned a pottery studio during her youth. Although she grew up throwing pots, it wasn’t until she was pregnant with her second child that she began painting as creative therapy. For Alana, being an artist is entwined with motherhood. She works from her home studio, so she often paints while watching her children play. When the kids are at school, painting becomes precious meditative time alone. “Since my discovery of art came as a form of therapy, I still use it to paint out my thoughts or feelings,” says Alana. “I will often use symbolism within my paintings to represent how I feel.”

"The beauty of the earth and the mystery of the universe converge," says Brit of this abstracted modernist landscape. "The three moons beg the question as to where this beautiful valley is to be found. I don't claim to know the answer, but I believe in its existence." The highly textured surface and low relief effects are created by a combination of embossed papers and layering of acrylic paint.
