A Green Spring - Kate Birch kebirch.etsy.comLast Thursday it hailed, cleared up, snowed, cleared, rained, cleared up again. This past weekend, the wind harrowed the trees until they snapped. Every day brings a surprise. I think the weather around here is feeling a little nostalgic for winter.
The birds and my perennials don't seem to mind.
I found this painting by Kate Birch this morning and think it visually articulates the layering of the Wasatch Front's weather lately. I'm happy to discover she is a local girl and will watch for news of upcoming exhibits. If you'd like to see more of her work, check out her etsy site at ekbirch.etsy.com. Here's her bio:
Kate Birch studied painting and drawing at the University of Utah and graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in 2005. The pattern and texture in her mixed-media floral paintings are inspired by her love of textiles. These paintings focus on the decorative influence of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement, as well as patterns from the Orient, Morocco and Mexico. Kate is constantly studying pattern and design found in fabric, rugs, tiles and papers as well as more organic floral forms found directly in nature. The creation of her paintings is focused primarily on process, layering stencil and charcoal drawings throughout each piece. Kate lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband and their three children. She exhibits her work in galleries across the U.S. from ekbirch.etsy.com profile
