I was encouraged to
paint
“Birch Trees” because of the wide variety of trees and forest in Red
Lake.
The imagery in my banner represents the logging industry, natural
resources, tourism and parks.
The image was born from a glimpse through the art room window during
one of our art assignments (when I was taking a night class at the high
school). We had to practice using different mediums and resist
techniques. The resist technique inspired me to paint the birch
trees because of their similarity texturally.
