Nola Parker Portfolio Box
In the Garden, 2023, $3000
I took this year's portfolio box as an opportunity to explore working in colored pencil. These drawings are studies of various plants found in Vermont summer gardens. I love the soft, gauzy quality of the pencil on the Arches 300 gsm paper, with the paper's heavy, textured surface allowed me to use color and shape to define the details of the plants and flowers. This was a wonderfully fun and meditative series to create after being so focused on painting for much of the year.
Drawing Suite comes in handmade engraved clamshell box with museum gloves and artist statement.
