Orquevaux Mini Studies (2024)

The Orquevaux mini studies collection (2024) contains 44 mixed media mini studies featuring watercolor, pencil and/or charcoal on 100% recycled handmade paper with a natural deckled edge. These explorations of color and technique capture the sense of place I experienced during my two weeks as an artist-in-residence at Chateau Orquevaux in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France - lush green land; trees as far as the eye can see; the river running through the property; waterfalls rushing into calm lakes with a roar that reminded me of ocean waves crashing; the Northern lights and stars dancing over head.
