Ethel Vrana
Natures most fundamental forms and cycles of life have provided inspiration for my art. During the past few years, my focus has changed from landscape painting to abstract works using experimental techniques such as acrylic collage and layered digital images. I enjoy these new aesthetic challenges and the freedom to explore line, form and color.
