Collage Tree Art with a Vintage Touch

Ghosts at the Garden Gate

Original Tree Art by Miriam Schulman

This abstract landscape art pictures a white picket fence with an open garden gate. Beyond the gate are contemporary collage trees created with sepia brown vintage photos. The tree art appears ghostly and spiritual. In the friendly garden, bright pink azaleas bloom with irises and the golden green grass adds more modern color. The fence is a collage of a William Faulkner novel. This tree wall art has been painted black on the sides and is ready to hang without a frame but also looks great with a ready made simple brown frame.

Decorating Idea
The master bedroom, the reproduction 18th century tester bed is softened with Belgian linen panels from Restoration Hardware. To make the home appear larger, owner and architect Bill Ingram painted almost every room white including the peaceful bedroom shown here. The collage artwork was added digitally  to give you an idea what it would look like in your home. Ingram designed this 1400 square feet home in Birmingham, Alabama which is in the Mountain Brook area, a prime real estate section in Birmingham.
