Jeweled Sanctuary

by Nicole Grosjean

This little spider is waiting out a rainstorm under the shelter of a mushroom. The resin raindrops catch the light like jewels and are suspended from delicate etched glass spiderwebs. All the paper elements are laser engraved, cut, painted in watercolor, and framed in a custom miniature shadowbox. Under the right lighting, the museum glass nearly vanishes giving the effect of looking into a tiny slice of nature. This delicate piece is sure to be a talking point in any space!

Nicole Grosjean

Nicole Grosjean graduated with a BFA in illustration from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design in Denver, Colorado in 2008. She combines her passions for fantasy and craftsmanship into unique, multi-layered works of art. To her, there is nothing more valuable than an object an artist has created with their own hands. She endeavors to build pieces that are not only illustrations, but wonderfully complex environments in their own right. Nicole is constantly trying new techniques and pushing the boundaries of materials and mediums to bring her visions to life.

Her sculptural illustrations are patterned from detailed drawings, hand-cut, and then layered to create various depths depending on the size of the piece. The layers are then painted in watercolor and gouache, and are often back lit with LED lights.
