YoSedonaShelley Brucar
Hand-dyed & painted fabric, mixed media techniques with textiles & acrylic medium. YoSedona combines two of my favorite places. The view shows Vernal Falls, Yosemite National Park among the stunning red rocks of Sedona. I used textiles and acrylic medium to achieve the texture of the rocks and water.

Hand-dyed & painted fabric, mixed media techniques with textiles & acrylic medium. Aspen Grove was inspired by an aspen grove in Flagstaff, AZ in the fall. Seeing this made me understand, for the first time, the name Quaking Aspens! I used textiles and acrylic medium to achieve the texture of the landscape.
