Lenore Hotchkiss Art & Photography
I'm a mixed media artist and conservation photographer and busy with both!
Mixed Media artwork uses a variety of materials and handmade items incorporated into each piece. Recyclables, items from nature, rocks and minerals and other surprises are often found as part of the design element. Foils, Tyvek, cardboard, netting, leaves, silk, burlap and pour paints are commonly integrated. I create and paint all all the parts first, then cut/tear and place the pieces into a layered design and incorporate acrylic painting.
Nature in Motion is a new series of abstract mixed-media works inspired by the wetlands, rivers, lakes, and wildlife of Central Florida. A dynamic range of colors, shapes, and textures reflects the constant movement and energy of the natural world.
The works begin as one of a kind monoprints, created with acrylic paints and spontaneous mark-making. Once the monoprints are complete, Lenore studies each one and responds to what she sees, adding her own individual touches through additional layers of paint, ink, and custom, hand painted collage. This intuitive process allows each monoprint to evolve into a unique mixed-media work, with unexpected textures, forms, and relationships emerging along the way. The resulting compositions are dramatic and graphic, suggesting movement, atmosphere, and the ever-changing character of the Florida landscape.
All artwork is available as limited edition prints on canvas or printed/matted/framed. Please email me for pricing and more details on reproductions.
Photography is under a separate category on the website, also available in many options regarding size and framing.
