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.
Jacquelyn Berl succeeds in forming ‘something’ out of ‘the nothing’ often overlooked in everyday life. These one-of-a-kind folk art pieces take up to a year to complete as flowers and leaves are collected, pressed, preserved and finally hidden within a visions that evolves continually.
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 allows her visionary concepts to evolve with this wonderfully detailed collection of fine arts. To review this collection is to allow yourself a glimpse of this journey of intuitiveness by creating a completely new non-traditional art concept.
Presently Jacquelyn Berl (aka AscenderRisesAbove) is seeking gallery representation for this Scatterlings© collection. Email or call for details.
See Who is Ascender Rises Above?
“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….
