"Balancing Act" features bold shapes and high contrast, with a touch of blue that hints at the sky above lush green earth, though its true intention is pure abstraction. The artist invites you to embrace a delightful sense of being "off balance," engaging your perception with a dynamic visual image. Painted with acrylics on a sturdy 10x10 inch cradled birch wood panel, this small artwork has 1.5-inch sides painted off-white. It's finished with a protective varnish, signed on the back, and arrives ready to hang or stand independently on a shelf or dresser. "Balancing Act" is perfect for adding a focal point to any decor. Laurie MacMillan has enjoyed numerous awards and solo exhibitions, and has had pieces selected for over a hundred juried group shows. Her work is held in personal and business collections across the U.S., and in Canada and England.
