“The Orchard” Framed Birch Bark Collage

I am a local Southern NH artist using recycled tree bark to make one of a kind art pieces. I started working with tree bark around 2020, the first piece being a Mothers Day gift. From there I started making some pieces for myself and some nature pieces. I tend to focus on either nature or pop culture. For the materials I use bark off of dead trees on the property and also find some on walks with the dog. From there I take time to thin it out and dry it out. Then it is finding the right colors, cutting it into form, and layering out the piece.
