Moonbeam

Moonbeam – Mixed Media Triptych on Old-Growth Redwood (2025)

“Moonbeam” is a captivating contemporary mixed media triptych that transforms weathered old-growth redwood into luminous celestial forms. This dynamic three-part wall sculpture features flowing concentric bands of vibrant acrylic paint in blues, oranges, greens, and purples that cascade through the wood’s natural cracks and fissures, creating powerful visual dialogue between organic decay and radiant renewal.

Created with acrylic paint, Swarovski crystals, resin, mulberry paper, clay, nails, and thread on sustainably sourced old-growth redwood, this unique piece captures the ethereal quality of moonlight filtering through natural landscapes. The painted bands follow the wood’s inherent fractures, suggesting geological strata or aurora-like phenomena, while strategically placed Swarovski crystals add points of brilliant light that shift and sparkle with ambient illumination. Delicate mulberry paper elements and suspended threads create additional layers of texture and movement, enhancing the work’s multidimensional presence.

Perfect for contemporary art collectors seeking transformative environmental art that bridges ancient natural materials with innovative contemporary techniques.
