NOVEMBER FEATURED ARTISTS
BOTANICAL
by Doug Moulden & Beth MacNeil Stinson
Beth works in mixed media combining watercolor, ink, and dye on paper, using a process she calls “echo printing,” that uses the natural chemistry of plants to cast a shadow of their essences onto paper.
Each “echo print" is a unique experiment, combining different plants, dyes, and paper. The results are often unpredictable, giving her many different starting points for her paintings. Beth gives each botanical in her echo prints a life of its own with watercolor and ink, creating intricate illustrations that conjure feelings of light and atmosphere.
Doug's paintings are as much sculpture as they are flat imagery. He starts off by constructing a form from plywood that he has warped and shaped. He builds up the structure of his paintings using paper, sequins, beads, string and plaster.
The end result is a heavy, rich surface that resembles vines, tree bark, woven fabric, rock, or other surfaces. Texture and surface as well as a shape to the “canvas” lend sculptural qualities to his paintings, becoming difficult to separate what is two dimensional from what is sculptural.
Enjoy the show weekends throughout the month of November.
