Featured Piece of the Week - A Woman Rooted

Each week, we will be featuring a piece of the week both in our gallery and online as well.  Each featured piece will offer a description of work, as well as the artist's statement about the piece.  In addition, should you choose to acquire the piece during the feature, we will offer a 10% discount.

The piece above is titled A Woman Rooted.  It is the fourth in a well collected series by Chris Hotham Carroll.  As you can see, the roots spell out the phrase "Strength of a Woman."  Trees are a theme in for Chris, and she has this to say about their striking presence in the majority of her body of work:

"I look at a tree and I wonder why it stops growing...  It chooses its own path just like we do.  At what point does it stop growing?  If a tree is in the middle of no where, it won't grow as high and as tall as it would if it were competing for the light, and that amazes me.  I especially like how their branches choose to grow, in whatever direction they want to grow."

This dynamic piece is a mixed media piece, 24" x 36" on canvas.  For more information, please email:  antonia@wetpaintkeywest.com
