The Mixed Media Effect

Carmel Madigan brings us on a journey through the mountains with this gorgeous mixed media piece ‘Mountain Flowers are Calling Me’

Mixed Media, when done correctly, can bring a wonderful new element to a space, to a home and to a collection. It’s varying layers and textures can actually bring softness and warmth or depending on the colour palette, can bring cool, edginess to a space. This new piece, by contemporary artist, author and educator, Carmel Madigan, is a wonderful example of that. Each detailed element brings a different suggestion, but the overall, cohesive theme, and colour palette works together beautifully.

Carmel achieves an almost three dimensional feel to her pieces. The browns, mustards and deep reds of this piece are captivating; drawing on the wistful, the beautiful, and maybe even the emotional, feelings imbued by a mountain walk as well as the various visual and textural elements that one might expect to find.

Carmel is an artist, author, educator, nature lover and marine biologist. Her knowledge and love of nature makes for the most amazing backdrop for all of her artworks. Carmel’s work features in private collections around the globe and indeed in public collections in Ireland.
