Desert Boulder I (23x30")
Desert Boulder I (23x30")
Ink on paper, deckled edge
Signed and dated by Julia.
I painted this piece with a house brush, the same one I used to paint the walls of our house at the time. The shapes in this piece are more vertical. Sometimes in Joshua Tree the boulders have these long wedged stones that lean into and hug each other, and every now and then there are these arches.
Through creating Voyager I was inspired by Joshua Tree CA and thinking back on my past cross-country and international travels. I had lived in Europe, America's East coast & West coast, Japan, and plans to go to Mexico in the summer. I continue the Voyager series over many years, as I am thinking of my relationships, staying with partners and friends, periods of time, rhythm of connections and distance of travel and settlement.

Framing Suggestions
Framebridge offers a 'float mounting' option that looks incredibly beautiful for any of the works on paper. ✶ Or, for a different style, Framebridge has a 'mat style' option in White color that would look simply elegant. For pieces larger than 12x12, the 'Standard' mat makes a nice finished look. 'Wide' may result in a very large final frame size. ✶ Custom framing is not currently offered, but I would encourage you to visit your local framer.
Handmade papers will have variations in color, thickness, smoothness, and texture from the organic nature of the handmade process. Additionally, variations will occur when the papers are from different editions created at different times, eg. One piece of art is on a smooth sandy beige paper and the other piece of art is on a slightly rougher darker beige paper. I love this organic natural look and adore how it gives more personality to a room. I'd also love for to you get what you love too, so, if you are purchasing more than one artwork and would like to ensure you receive a pairing or group where the papers match as closely as possible, please contact me, and I'd be happy to help.
