I have known Lilly for many years. She is wonderful person, and we've had a lot of fun together! About 3 1/2 years ago she let me borrow a dress for my brother's wedding. When I tried to give it back to her she insisted I keep it. So as a 'thank you' I made her a piece of art, which started her collection of Artwork by Natasha Bacca. Over time she has added more pieces to her collection with photo prints and preliminary sketches. She now has a beautiful display of 24 pieces throughout her home. See them all below.

Lilly got these pieces for her living room, but her daughter took them and hung them in her bedroom.

As an artist I get asked a lot of questions about artwork in different spaces: how it will look in a specific space; what pieces, colors, patterns, etc. will look best in a space or on a particular color wall; what size and / or orientation fits a space best; the feel of the artwork and / or space; and much more.
One of my favorite things to do for clients is digitally show them what artwork(s) will look like in their space. They send me a photo of their space (living room, kitchen, bedroom, etc.) and let me know which images they like, and I send them back photos like the ones below. These visual representations provide a lot. But what I frequently try to communicate to people is that there is no right or wrong answer about what artwork works best in a space. It is all very subjective, and the most important thing is that the person who lives with the artwork loves living with it (not what color is trending this year, the architectural style of your home, or other methodical methods of choosing artwork). Below I show examples of 10 different living spaces + 2 different pieces of Artwork by Natasha Bacca. The 10 different spaces vary in style, color, architecture, use, and feel, providing a good variety of living environments. The 2 different pieces of Artwork by Natasha Bacca illustrate different imagery (tree vs. flowers), colors (warm-color dominant vs. cool-color dominant), styles (single pieces vs. multi-panel piece), orientation (vertical vs. horizontal), and feel (more contemporary vs. more traditional). Other differences are illustrated as well, such as different framing options on the artworks. The below examples illustrate well that there is no right or wrong answer about what artwork works best in a space. Both artworks work well in all 10 spaces!

Memento Mori
2012 unique chromogenic photogram 90" x 90" (3 30" x 90" panels) Earlier this week Memento Mori was installed in The Fishbowl Window of Blackfish Gallery located at 420 NW 9th Avenue in Portland, OR. Blackfish Gallery offers one window space per month to artists who are seeking a venue in which to exhibit installation works, and Memento Mori is the guest piece this April. Memento Mori will be on display until April 30, 2015. Opening reception on April 2nd at 6:00 PM during 1st Thursday. I also have artwork on display during 1st Thursday at Blue Sky Gallery. See more here. About Memento Mori: Memento Mori is a Latin phrase that translates to "Remember your mortality." It is an artistic theme dating back to antiquity, and it refers to a genre of artworks that vary widely but which share a common purpose: to alter people to their ephemerality. More than a work of art, Memento Mori acts as a catalyst for the human imagination to engage with questions surrounding the nature of life and death. It acts upon the mortal constraints of all people, and the finite, fragile boundaries of the human body. Using the symbolism of nature, I created a triptych of a tree which illustrates new growth in the first panel, extends into full bloom in the second panel, and concludes with a third panel of dead branches and fallen leaves. The tree exhibits a transitory beauty, an ephemeral symbol of mortality that engages the Earth as a living medium, and illustrates the passage of time. The tree image is a living Memento Mori. Its purpose is to remind the viewer that death is an unavoidable part of life, something to be prepared for at all times. But the image of the tree also reminds us of something startling and important: life is meaningful, temporary, and sacred. You can read more about Memento Mori on a previous blog post here. Purchase a print of Memento Mori here.

Creating camera-less art in a darkroom I revisit the wonder of photography's invention and process. Merging current technologies with deep-rooted photographic practices, I use light emitting devices to brush color into form across light-sensitive paper. A unique approach to the production of photographic art, I do not document an existing image but rather, like a painter, generate an original one. Manipulating color, intensity and direction of light, I literally paint with light. No enlarger, camera or computer is used in the creating of my art making each piece produced a unique work.
In line with my one of a kind artwork I choose nature as an analogous subject. With no two flowers ever being exactly alike I bring to light the intricate textures and details through careful arrangement and layering. I deepen the notion of exceptional nature as a mirror of exceptional human nature; providing a catalyst for the human imagination to engage with questions surrounding the nature of life and death, on the mortal constraints of all people, and the finite boundaries of the human body.
Flowers exhibit a transitory beauty, an ephemeral symbol of mortality that illustrates the passage of time. With buds reaching to the sky, roots plunging deep in the earth, and a stem planted firmly in between, flowers dwell in three worlds and offers a link between heaven, earth and underworld. Flowers take on the appearance of death in the winter, only to sprout anew with the return of spring. In this way, flowers are a powerful symbol of resurrection. Revealing the death-rebirth mystery, flowers serve to illuminate the human life cycle.
I invite viewers to contemplate the fragility of existence and the prospect of the afterlife from multiple points of view; reminding viewers that death is an unavoidable part of life, something to be prepared for at all times. But also reminding viewers of something startling and important: life is meaningful, temporary, and sacred.

unique chromogenic photogram
90" x 90" (3 30" x 90" panels)
Last week I installed Memento Mori in The Arthur located at 726 SW 11th Avenue in Portland, Oregon.
The Arthur recently opened for business and offers micro studios in the heart of downtown Portland for those wanting to live the urban lifestyle in the thriving west end. The Arthur is conveniently situated on 11th Avenue between Morrison and Yamhill in the heart of Downtown Portland. With the Streetcar running directly in front of the building and MAX lines running to the North and South, it's never be too far from all the city has to offer. Portland's West End offers plenty of attractions including City Target, Providence Park, food carts, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, boutiques, Portland State, and so much more!
