“Sea Star” by Jo-Ann Jensen
I have new artwork on my wall and I love it! It’s Sea Star, created for me by my good friend, Jo-Ann Jensen. Here it is installed in my hallway.

I love this location. The colors look great together and this is a spot where it will be viewed close up – better for appreciating the details.
Clearly, this piece is hard to photograph, due to the glass covering it. But, I hope you’ll click on the image above to get a better idea. It’s painted silk: two different images, one on organza and another on habotai.
Jo-Ann sent me some in-progress photos of this piece. The photo below shows the first (back) layer, which is opaque.
The next layer, shown in progress below, is sheer. It’s mounted in front of the first painting, but with a little gap between the two. The result is an almost holographic effect.
Jo-Ann developed this technique and she calls it “Double Vision.” Please check out her website for more of her work.
