"Celebration" is 14" x 11" Giclee print, professionally scanned from original work, unframed. Pale green background with colorful stone flowers, a few of them with metal accents. These colorful flowers are my interpretation of Upcycle Parts Shop's signature 'Bottle Blossoms' made with my trademark, outdoor finds.
Original no longer available.
The Story...
The original and prints are a celebration of Cleveland, its communities, of all that has been accomplished in recent years because people started small movements that created momentum, and laid groundwork for big change. They celebrate Nicole McGee's signature Bottle Blossoms, her journey, and her success with Upcycle Parts Shop. They celebrate my love of creating my unique brand of art, which I never would have attempted without Collective Upcycle. They celebrate my relationship with my daughter, who I cherish, and who helped the final result be richer, more textured than what I could have done alone.
The original art was auctioned at a party in Cleveland, a benefit for Upcycle Parts Shop many years ago.
