Description

Dimensions: 27.5x19.5”

Medium: Oil, oil pastel

Artist Statement: There is a monolith of a mountain not too far from my home. Flattop Mountain stands over 12,000 feet tall, covered in spruce trees and delicate ecosystems. The 24-million-year-old mountain was formed by volcanic events and glacial erosion. What is left today is the reminder of our small presence in an immense span of time. This mixed media painting on stretched canvas is very chaotic with oil and oil pastel telling a story of trees, snow, erosion, growth, and mystery. There are cliffs that bolster the sides of the mountain and the access to the top is from a long meandering hiking trail. The silhouette of the owl reminds me of how fleeting and fragile our life is here in this wild place  we call our home.

Artist Bio: Andrea Abrahamson has had the privilege to live in Routt County Since 1996, and she loves it here. Her art practice is greatly influenced by the colors, shapes, and movement she finds in the natural world around her. All the places that she travels and has lived have helped shape the art that she loves to create. Much of Andrea’s work is done in mixed media, but she also loves to work with acrylic and oil paints, loving the flow and texture that these mediums allow. Andrea is a self-taught artist who enjoys exploring how different mediums work together.
