Add this unique 20" x 30" art piece of the "Franklin Square" by local artist, Carolyn Beehler, to your home, restaurant, etc.

Carolyn Beehler is a paper artist living in Franklin, Tennessee. She was born in California but grew up in the South. She attended elementary school on Henpeck Lane and later a classical Christian school and finally art school at O'More College of Design. She spent the rest of her twenties moving around to disparate places including Shanghai, Italy, L.A. and Bloomington, Indiana, because she worried she'd settle down and never get to see the world. Besides art, she likes learning about gardening, shoe design, woodworking and writing.

From the artist:

Paper painting arguably depicts the 21st century better than most traditional art mediums. You could also say it's a style that resonates with the times. The hand cut pieces of pop culture tell the truth about how we experience our lives, that the spaces we move through are mixtures in our minds with whatever we're thinking about on our phones. This image of the Franklin Square demonstrates how this unprecedented way of living further complicates the inherently busy and fleeting nature of modern life. It's an active scene that features a MINI Cooper merging into traffic as much as it features the hectic trees and crosswalk packed with images of Saweetie, Kanye, Wonder Woman, rolls of toilet paper, books, rumpled fabric, Big Bird, chocolates, Harry Potter, chakra points, protests in Egypt, and a chicken crossing the street. This wondrous chaos is a true depiction of life in the information age.

If nothing else, this picture reinforces just how life can turn very strange, spinning out of control, even if we're adults in the diver's seat patiently waiting our turn."
