Happy St Patrick’s Day Mixed Media

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Drinking buddies slinging back suds for a celebration. 

A one‑of‑a‑kind mixed‑media collage created on a found wooden St. Patrick’s Day decoration and reimagined with layered paper, paint, and hand‑drawn elements. This piece transforms a seasonal object into an enduring work of art, infusing everyday materials with renewed energy and meaning.

This work begins with a reclaimed wooden decoration—once part of a festive moment—and incorporates collage elements that create rhythm, texture, and visual interplay. The original form remains visible beneath the added layers, preserving both its history and character.

This piece explores themes of celebration, memory, and transformation—where discarded or overlooked materials are given new life. The juxtaposition of the familiar object with artistic intervention creates an expressive, layered composition that invites closer viewing and reflection.

Hand‑assembled and enhanced with paint and mixed media, the surface reveals depth and texture through intentional layering and contrast. The imperfections and wear of the original piece become part of the visual story, adding authenticity and presence.
