Mapping an Escape, Map 2. Mixed media on paper. 6 x 7.5″. $35 USD. Purchase here!

I love it when artists are able to blend many different materials into a single piece of artwork so seamlessly. The mixed media works of Rebecca Volynsky include ink, gouache, arcylic paint, thread, gel gloss medium and possibly more. Her pieces are far from confusing and chaotic, however. The compositions are simple and I find them quite calming.

The Storm. Mixed media collage on paper. 8 x 10″. $40 USD. Purchase here!

Unsurprisingly, Rebecca’s talent extends beyond art on paper as well. She also makes jewelry and enameled leaves. Visit her Etsy shop to find even more!

Fade White Decay. Hand-distressed print on handmade paper. 14 x 20cm (5.5 x 7.9″) Edition of 30. $75 AUD (approx. $79.20 USD). Purchase here!

To build upon my love for hand-colored prints from yesterday, I fell for this Jessica Stewart print and its delicate, unique touches. From her listing: “each print is distressed individually, spray painted and drawn on to create a unique mix between a print and new artwork.”  All prints are numbered and signed limited edition pieces that have the same base but grow into individual pieces. Inspiring, to say the least!

Z is for Zombie. Hand-colored silkscreen print on 180 lb. Bristol board. 11 x 14″. $80 USD. Purchase here!

 Hand-colored prints are something special, especially so if the edition is small. John Sumrow  made only four of this zombie print and hand-colored each one with acrylic ink, which makes each print completely unique. As of writing this post, two of the four zombie prints are left. Get your one-of-a-kind print before they’re gone!

If you’re not one of the lucky two, not to worry! John has giclee prints, shirts, and more in his art shop!

Christina Henslee’s shop, At the Studio Door is filled with fun and colorful abstract and mixed media paintings, prints and more. I became a fan of this particular piece for the frayed fabric elements. Love that texture!
