Sandia Peaks 2

$72.00

The Sandia Mountains of New Mexico lie east of Albuquerque and appear to embody their name (‘sandia’ means ‘watermelon’ in Spanish) at sunset as a pink glow settles on red rock.

The MOUNTAINS Collection, and this piece, is an exploration of brush + line, using the metaphorical form of MOUNTAIN to see how the marks of paintbrush and pen or pencil, with their contrasting textures, can work together to model the tactile surfaces of land.

This abstract rendition of the craggy peaks of Sandia Mountains at sunset imagines a complex metamorphic geology and explores it with rugged marks in paint, fine line ink and graphite. The colors are warm and earthy, like minerals. The ochre tones are made from foraged rocks near my home into pigment, and paint.
