I first stumbled upon Lee Gainer's work when I searched
Etsy for the term "circles" for my
Trend Alert on circles, and I've been in awe of it ever since. Lee creates beautiful mixed media collages and paintings from a variety of materials like fabric, foam, paper, felt, dried paint, and cardboard. Many of the materials in the collages are hand-rolled into circles and swirls and placed precisely using Golden Soft Gel, forming an abstract representation of imagery we all know and love, like "baby," "seascape," "snowflake," and even "yellow dragon."
During
Dress Your Walls month, I'll be introducing you to a new artist every weekday of the month with our
Artist of the Day feature.
One of my back-burner, life-long goals is
to be an art collector. So, when I realized that the work of
Tim Groen, an Amsterdam and NY-based mixed media artist, was available to private collectors, and at very reasonable prices, I started to mentally rearrange things on my walls.
