ART INSPIRED BY NATURE

"The colours & varying light of the changing seasons bring me constant inspiration."

Jane Fuhrimann, Artist

WINTER

"The season of cold winds & short days. It has us retreating into the warmth & comfort of our homes & yet, there is exquisite beauty in nature at this time of year. Frosted branches, sparkling waters & the magical stillness of a snowy forest. Winter offers us a beautiful palette of silvers, blues and deep greens which soothe the soul. Long winter shadows stretch across the countryside while skeletal bare branches reach towards the sky. Each snowflake is a little work of art in itself. Blankets of white create a hushed pristine canvas while frost glistens like diamonds in the winter sun."

ORIGINAL ART FOR CHRISTMAS

I collected & pressed gingko leaves from a tree that grows close to my home. I knew I wanted to use them to form a collage but needed some more inspiration for my work. I began reading about the gingko tree & it's meaning in Asian culture. This led me to articles about beautiful painted fans in Japan which in turn inspired me to create this unique little piece. It contains pressed gingko leaves, varnished to protect them & highlighted in gold. They are mounted on board & framed in a vintage gilt wood frame. The central gingko leaf is hand painted to resemble the decorative sensu fans of Japan.

It would make a lovely gift for a loved one this Christmas. 

Price: CHF170.00
