About the Item

Christine Graf is inspired by nature and biomorphic forms in the creation of her assemblages, approaching her work with a deep reverence for the abundance of plant and sea life and the beauty of the earth. As a counterpoint, she is equally drawn to geometry, pattern, and design, which inform the structure and rhythm of her collages. Her practice incorporates a wide range of mixed media, including raw canvas, tea, bookbinding threads, wood boxes, vintage and altered papers, rusted metal, encaustics, and paint. Rooted in process, her work embraces the principles of Wabi Sabi, honoring the passage of time, the fragility of nature, and the cycles of life and decay. Christine’s pieces are animated by contemplative repetition, the layering of materials, and a poetic use of space. Her assemblages often carry strong narrative threads, shaped by objects imbued with metaphor and meaning.

The Beauty of Finding My Waings, Original Painting
By Darlene McElroy
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Darlene McElroy demonstrates a portrait of a woman in elegant royal garments. "When you finally become comfortable in your own skin and feel complete, you have earned your wings," says Darlene. "There are no longer self-imposed restrictions on yourself." Darlene employs various materials to create dimension, texture, and multiple finishes for an engaging portrait.


About the Artist
Darlene McElroy sees creating art as similar to reading Turkish coffee grounds. A story becomes revealed as one looks at the surface, texture and color. Her works use a variety of materials ranging from acrylic paints to photo transfers and collage. She currently lives in New Mexico and has been greatly influenced by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. She encourages viewers to search for their narrative interpretation when viewing a work.
