You are viewing an original, one-of-a-kind, mixed media collage made by San Francisco Bay area artist, Stacy Alexander. Titled, "The Five Keys to Happiness" the artist created this piece through a number of stages that solidified the multiple layers of paper and ephemera into one cohesive composition on a sturdy masonite panel.
Varying shades of gold, pearlized blue and pearlized pinks were used to highlight different areas of the vintage photo transfer while handmade, imported papers, heavy in fiber and texture were used to literally paint the piece with paper. Cloth, metal and other elements were used to add more depth and texture to the piece resulting in a rich, vibrant work of art.
