Whirled Piece No.25959

Description

This is one of my favorite pieces which I created in a series of large glass cabochon painted circles. The paint frames the swirls of color as your eye is drawn into the center of this stunning illusion glass orb. Swarovski® crystals and a paua shell surround a foiled edge. Glass by artist Andrew Roberts of Glass Rave. Size 8" round x 1 1/4" high

One of a kind magnetic art. This is hand painted by me with Golden Acrylics on archival 60mil magnetic vinyl. Since 1996 I have signed and numbered over 29,000 pieces. I was drawn to the magnetic media, because no other artist was using it the way I was. I saw other artist sticking a magnet to their art, I thought why not stick my art to the magnet. 12 years later I have found a few other artist using the magnetic vinyl in their own way, but no other artist in the world has used it like me. Everybody's style is unique. I still haven't found another magnet artist as prolific as myself.
If you look up my last name, Gauss, in the dictionary, it actually means unit of magnetic energy. I'm a distant cousin of the mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss. He discovered the mathematical theory of magnetism. So in a way I'm following my destiny.
