ABSTRACT// PRESS RELEASE

As part of the California Drought series-a series of paintings concerning the current drought problem in California to raise awareness.

Osborne created the Californian scenes with watercolours on canvas, then encapsulated each in glass resin. The sky is mimicking tears and creating a river (body of water) that runs through the canvas. She has used unconventional colours to mimic LA's effervescent sunsets and multifaceted culture.

The main theme was “trap and protect”, the water-tinged art to suggest the need for sustainability and further prove- look, water can even be preserved in art.
