Scatterlings

Weaving reality with enchantment…

Scatterlings© is a collection of self-directed enchantment art which combines actual foliage with watercolor, color pencil and pen&ink mediums.  Hidden among the actual and rendered foliage are an enchanted assortment of Scatterlings©, mythical animals and fairies.

Although preserved in the same manner as a piece of handmade paper each original is in essence a ‘live’ piece of art.  Each finished vision must be framed immediately to prevent deterioration of the pressed flowers and leaves.  Packets of silica gel are placed between the original and the frame to absorb humidity.  Though framed, each piece continues to be fragile and must be handled with extra  care.  As with most pieces of fine art, the original should not be placed in a window or beneath bright light.

“Jacquelyn L. Berl (also known under the artistic monicker “Ascender“, see more works on her website and blog) is a versatile and prolific artist with a strong drive towards finding an original signature style. She creates art with a seemingly unlimited assortment of media, fusing various schools and trends into a conglomerate body of work. I would categorize her style as gravitating towards the surreal, often with fabulous qualities; it characterizes in various degrees her mixed media works, collages, ink, watercolor and oil paintings. To my mind Berl achieves best results with the more combinative efforts, and while the more traditional artwork exhibits engaging pristine and figurative qualities, it is in the more complex and “dirty” pieces that her creative potential finds a unique outlet….
