About the Item
This is a one of a kind original mixed media (Antique silk paper, dye, paint, plexiglass) abstract painting depicting beautiful monarch butterflies and gold leaves by California artist and educator, Kathleen Kane-Murrell, titled, "Traveling Time". Its dimensions are 20 x 40 x 2.5 in (L x H x D). It is not framed. A certificate of authenticity will follow its delivery. This work is a diptych containing two separate pieces.
Inspired by a childhood memory of Peter Pan, Kathleen Kane-Murrell’s collection, Chasing Shadows, explores the ephemeral nature of light and form. Using suspended plexiglass, she creates layered, shifting compositions where shadows become an integral part of the artwork—always present yet often overlooked. In a fast-paced world that demands quick judgments, Kane-Murrell invites viewers to slow down, engage in deep looking, and discover the quiet beauty in the fleeting. Her work is a meditation on time, transformation, and renewal, offering a space for contemplation and discovery.
She notes, "My work is abstractly narrative. I do not seek to illustrate but to illuminate. There is a necessary tension in my work between spontaneous and controlled. Influences include art history, travel, music, books, and poetry. Patinas of layered mark-making reflect my perception of light, color, and sound. When a viewer reaches to touch my work to understand what is seen, I have achieved an elusive goal."

Untitled (Butterfly) : mixed media work of art
Located in New York, NY
Sara Crisp embeds found organic objects such as starfish, butterfly wings and fossils into the wax surfaces of her paintings. They have often been compared to medieval reliquaries, fossilized amber, and naturalist’s journals. Although the placement of the component objects is carefully planned, she comes across these artifacts by chance. This duality between control and spontaneity is prominent in her work. The result is visually seductive and symbolically suggestive, balancing scientific objectivity and romantic subjectivity. Her work comes across as precise, even clinical, at times, their surfaces scored and traversed by carefully measured lines and geometric forms. Carefully fashioned, polygonal sections of mica, a transparent mineral, cover the center of each painting.
In addition to celebrating the process involved in creating an object, Crisp’s art...
