Archangel MariBeth Baloga
Collage, Paper & Paste, Digital Enhancement of Figure 16" x 8.5" NFS I am a gardener and garden designer; nature and plants inform my work. I enjoy creating landscapes that incorporate some elements of nature but are not realistic. It is important to me that the artwork has some mystery that invites the viewer to interact with it and understand it through their own personal vision. Trees draw from the earth and reach to the sky absorbing CO2 and releasing oxygen. They provide a canopy and habitat for wildlife. Forests are being destroyed by fires, and neighborhood trees are dying from a changing climate. “Archangel” is a response to my concern over what is happening to our planet, particularly trees and forests.
