Vanishing I

Susan Kirchman

IEA President’s Award

Nature provides many of us with a mental and spiritual retreat, a source of artistic and intellectual inspiration, and a setting for personal reflection. I find great comfort and emotional sustenance in working with my own photographic images/ memories of natural botanical elements. By combining them with bee's wax, pigments, and oils, I transform them into my own vision. Immersing myself in every aspect of this process feeds my soul and I am thankful for that.
