Description
Title & Artist: "Gilda" – by Randa Dubnick
Medium & Size: Mixed media/collage on wood. 24" L x 9 1/8" H x 3/4" D. For indoor display only.
Artist Statement: I am a fan of the Marblehead Festival of Arts and was happy to be invited to decorate a codfish. I looked at photos of codfish on the internet and decided to do a whimsical take on what I saw. To capture the irridescence of the fish, I used silver tissue paper for the skin and gold paint for the pattern of the scales and to accentuate the fins. The neutral tones of the codfish’s speckled skin became bright pink and blue markings.
Artist Biography: I am an independent artist—primarily a painter, but I also do collage, which I used in this project. I am a member of Porter Mills Studios in Beverly, MA, where I have a studio. I also exhibit at Galatea Fine Art in Boston. I studied art at Southern Colorado State College and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
I make art every day and have a blog, where I post images daily. I also do portraits and create keepsakes for Memory Imprints. You can find out more on my website.
Hosting Business: "Gilda" is on display at Massage & Company Spa, 120 Pleasant St., Marblehead, MA.
