A Flutter of Color
5 x 5 inches (12.7 x 12.7 cm)
A Flutter of Color is an original mixed media artwork created with recycled glass, resin, and painted twig antennae on cradled birch panel. Part of the Fragments of Light Collection, this luminous and playful piece captures a sense of movement, joy, and lightness through a stylized butterfly form — rooted in the quiet wonder found in small, expressive moments.
A butterfly spreads its wings across the composition in a lively interplay of color and light. The upper wings are constructed from recycled glass fragments in deep aqua and teal, their surfaces alive with glittering iridescent detail that shifts and sparkles as light moves across them. The lower wings are formed from translucent confetti glass — a joyful scatter of red, yellow, blue, green, white, and black dots suspended in clear resin, giving the wings a festive, stained glass quality that catches every angle of light differently. The body glows in warm amber glass, its ridged texture catching light with a warmth that anchors the colorful wings with quiet elegance. Delicate painted twig antennae curve upward with a naturalistic grace, completing the butterfly with an unexpected organic touch. The background is a soft pale blue panel dusted with iridescent glitter that shimmers like sunlight on still water, and the artist's signature block sits quietly in the lower left corner.
There is a sense of spontaneity here — of color gathering, lifting, and moving without restraint. A Flutter of Color carries a lighthearted presence while still holding the layered textures and thoughtful construction that define the Fragments of Light Collection. This piece is part of the Fragments of Light Collection.
