"Luminous Drift" is a 14 x 11 inch piece made of acrylic on invasive lionfish leather. This abstract painting features a grid of square segments with soft colors that evoke memories of a distant beach. Inspired by Miami Beach and the imperfect nature of memory, it turns an ecological challenge into beauty.
The painting uses blues, greens, yellows, pinks, and purples. The pastel tones create a serene and tranquil effect, with the center radiating warm pink and yellow hues like a sunset over the ocean. Its intricate texture adds depth and layers to the visual experience.
Each section of the leather mosaic is painted with airbrush, paintbrushes, and fingertips, bringing it to life. Using invasive lionfish leather raises awareness about an environmental issue, offering viewers a chance to appreciate and invest in a solution. Luminous Drift captivates with its visual appeal and meaningful statement about our interaction with nature.
This work is signed and presented in a white mat and frame, ready to hang.

"I love the preservation aspect of the art as much as the art itself. The bright and iridescent colors are truly eye catching and, invariably with my guests, that has led to a really interesting discussion."

"From the moment I saw this blue bowl, I knew it was mine... I love the Shagreen and the color has an effect on me that I love! The gold on the sides of the bowl add such glamour and elegance. I feel lucky to have it.
Thank you Laura!"
