Yelena Sidorova
Sunflower Medley, Original Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
A whimsical portrait of a girl with flowing red hair in a brlliant orange dress. She stands happily in a field of radiant sunflowers and magical birds. "When drawing a woman's gentle and mysterious image, I experience joy, peace, and harmony," shares artist Yelena Sidorova. This piece was made using dyes and acrylic paints on Chinese silk. When applied, liquid dyes and paints quickly flow across the silk. Using a material called resist, this stops the dyes from spreading, creating strong lines, shapes, and details. Once the painting is completed, the surface is steamed to make the dyes bright and color-fast.


About the Artist
Silk is the fabric of the soul. On it, Yelena Sidorova pours paint in colorful sheets that shimmer and glisten with emotion. The process of painting on silk requires a delicate approach. Yelena has the gentleness required to weave mysteriously provocative paintings. She says, "I transform the world around me: every drop of dye on silk is one drop of magic into my existence."

  • Kintsugi Horse-The Beautiful Changes, Original Painting
    By Jennifer Ross
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Jennifer Ross depicts a white horse with a stunning display of autumn colors in the background. She references the piece after a poem by Richard Wilber about wading through a fall meadow. Jennifer composes the equine portrait using her Kintsugi eggshell technique, a Japanese art form of repairing broken objects with gold lacquer. The white shell fragments form a striking image of the majestic creature, highlighted with a few touches of metallic gold to catch the light.


    About the Artist
    Artist Jennifer Ross creates intimate portraits of birds, nests and horses. Jennifer grew up surrounded by the art of her mother and grandfather. Her attempt to follow in their footsteps presented detours, however, and she ended up working in art galleries selling other's work. But her desire to paint continued to grow throughout the years. In 2008, a gift certificate...
