Becoming My Own Tree
Len Eisenhood
Le Scarpe (in honor of Pietro Accardi, my marbling mentor)
16" x 12" acrylic/collage on marbled canvas board
Welcome to my website. I inaugurated it nearly ten years ago and now want to include my current art work and journey through the pandemic. In November of 2020 I underwent emergency brain surgery at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in order to clamp an aneurysm. It was successful but the trauma of that event and subsequent chronic pain has made engagement in daily life a challenge. One endeavor that channels relief to me is creating art--paper cuts, making note cards, painting and collaging. This engagement becomes a prominent way to befriend my nervous system (which is often activated in survival modes of fight- and-flight and shutdown).
Until I can give more attention to the renewal of Becoming My Own Tree website, please browse here to get an idea of my creative process. Use the menu bar to see the diversity of my work. Thank you.
