Dimensional Paintings
by FABRICATIONS
Over the past 2 years we have been making a gradual transition from our former work: fabric-mache sculptures.
We will not be taking the sculptures to art fairs, but we do still have a few of them available for purchase or special order.
Please check out the "Life Size" page or the "Bathing Beauty" page to see what we have.
Ruth Petersen Jellema and David Jellema
A dimensional painting begins as a normal stretched canvas. We use a variety of fibers: papers, cardboards, fabric, all saturated with glue to build up a three dimensional design. The center is raised to form a framelike border and all of the design elements are raised further from there. It is painted with acrylic paints. The back has a wire for hanging.
Each piece is designed, built, and painted individually by hand.
There are no prints or reproductions.
We are happy to do custom orders.
We are a married couple who met in college and have been making our living creating and selling artwork together for many years.
Our home and studio are in the picturesque small town of Rockford, Michigan where the dramatic change of seasons is also a work of art.
We sell primarily through art fairs.
Check the schedule page to see where you can find us at an art fair.
We are also happy to do custom orders.
