I wanted to share one of my favorite Sonoma based artists with you.

Hella Merrill is a mixed media artist that specializes in etching large brass “canvases” with acids and other solutions. Her works have a wonderful earthen quality to them–soft patinas paired with an organic lustre.

I often visit one of her beautiful brass canvases at an art gallery down the street, stopping in whenever I need an extra infusion of beauty.

Here are a couple of her works to brighten your day.
