Many paths are taken in life. “Substance Matters “ is a pictorial representation of imaginary roads, paths, and waterways meandering into a scenic snapshot of my memories of all forms of nature. I combined acrylic paint, watercolor studies and tissue paper to create the image and unified the piece with line, color and organic shapes. Every element in nature is dependent on each other in order to survive. Just as I wish to preserve my images of nature on canvas, we all must do our best to sustain our environment by addressing climate change and go forward on the paths that will lead to an eco-friendly future.
