Zen Art© by Nola Tresslar
Nola has painted and/or collage on the back of plexiglas to create this art form. The artwork is done in reverse, or backwards, from a normal piece of art on paper, board or canvas. She stains her own papers, along with collecting found and handmade papers and acrylic paint for this process. Sometimes natural elements, such as pressed flowers, leaves, etc. can be incorporated and can be adapted to fit any commercial, public, or residential project, and on both plexiglas and regular glass. Each piece is an original and she calls this plexiglas and/or glass art, "Zen Art©". She welcomes commissions for residential or commercial usage. The cleaning instructions are on the back of each piece.
Artist Statement
Art has always been a passion of mine. I love the many facets I can explore in the Sumi, Collage and Mixed Media areas of the Art domain. When I am painting I try to infuse my personal energy, spirituality and inspiration into my art. My inspiration may come from something I've seen, heard or felt. Abstract paintings and collages are my favorite areas, because of my love of texture, handmade papers and found objects that can be incorporated into a piece of art. I enjoy using Sumi ink in traditional Asian paintings and also I find it interesting to find new ways and methods to mix this ancient medium with other mediums.
