RAINFOREST Acrylic and Collage on Paper

I found an abundance of green, flaming pinks and reds, around the eco lodges in Costa Rica, where surrounding land had been planted specifically with native flora which would encourage the wonderful array of wildlife, birds in particular. In the studio my stand out memory was of this colour palette, which seemed to suit the addition of collage in addition adding to textures and oil pastel or layers of paint. The repeating shapes and patterns recall the colours of the macaw feathers and Heliconia. A mix of my imagination and memory. A visual feast.
