Kaleidoscope | Encaustic, acrylic, and ink on wood | 18” x 48”

Evoking the psychedelic 1960s, this piece transforms a tree trunk and flowers into a kaleidoscopic vision, inspired by The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” and its “girl with kaleidoscope eyes.” It captures a dreamy, vibrant atmosphere of introspection and nostalgia. I was thinking of that song’s psychedelic vibe while creating this work, blending music and memory.
