QSW Spring 2012: The Collection

Seren’s paintings are created by hand using watercolor pigment on paper. The compositions are fashioned by interconnecting patterns of color and concentric shapes where structures split, bubbles stack, ad pyramids multiply. Each artwork must strike a balance between layers of colors, repetitive contour lines, and the inherent qualities of the all the materials she employs.
