Artist Comments
For this modernist representation of spring, artist Brit J Oie took inspiration from the words of Rainer Maria Rilke: "It is Spring again! The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart." Brit shares, "The concept of the sacred tree can be found in stories and myths from all over the world. The tree is a symbol of life, vitality, protection, and the interconnected nature of our universe." The textured surface and low relief effects are created by a combination of embossed papers and the layering of acrylic paint.
About the Artist
Artist Brit J Oie grew up in a small rural town on the west coast of Norway where nature was her playground and creativity was a way of life. The men in her family were woodworkers and the women did knitting, sewing and weaving. Brit started her art career as a weaver in Norway. After marrying an American and moving to the United States, she went back to school for a degree in Fine Art. During her senior exhibition, Brit developed her mixed media technique using embossed papers and acrylic paint, which is a culmination of all the styles she has previously mastered. Today, she works in a light-filled studio in the River Arts District of Asheville, NC. Her work is held in numerous private collections in the U.S. and Norway as well as the University of North Carolina, Asheville. Outside of the studio, Brit enjoys hiking, gardening and soaking in outdoor hot springs, relaxing and taking in the river view.
