"Cetus Flora" by Stephanie Verdun

Medium: Acrylic paint and pen

Size: 54" x 12"

Artist Statement:

I wanted to approach painting the Whale as if it were a large piece of pottery, using a similar technique I use when painting my ceramics: a combination of brush strokes and detail line applied with a squeeze bottle. The imagery includes costal and floral motifs and some “hidden” imagery (crab, fish, lobster…. And of course a “K”)

Artist Biography:
