Beeswax & mixed-media on wood, 2021, 9” x 12”

Original painting has sold.

High-quality fine art prints available here.

The original painting is titled "Sit & Spin" and is part of my series of mixed-media paintings, "The Seattle I Remember." Each painting in this series depicts a beloved old Seattle establishment. The Sit & Spin was a legendary laundromat/music venue/art gallery/bar/café/diner in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. I saw the Fastbacks there on my 21st birthday and they sang Happy Birthday to me. They closed around 2003, I think.

I created the original painting in 2021 using beeswax, oil paint, graphite, and salvaged materials: old maps, pieces of antique mail, and other found and salvaged collage elements from my very cherished personal collection.

I created the original painting in 2008 using encaustic medium (beeswax), oil paint, graphite, and salvaged materials: old maps, sheet music, ticket stubs, remnants of my Spanish lessons, stamps, and photocopy transfers of photographs I took in Mexico and Guatemala. This piece was inspired by time I spent in Mexico and Guatemala, studying Spanish and learning about indigenous struggles for justice & autonomy in their communities. It is filled with personal collage elements and is very dear to me.
