Artist Edie Ugich Appraisal

Signed Mixed Media Collage by Edie Ugich

This item is a contemporary mixed media artwork featuring a vibrant turquoise rectangular element with deckled or hand-torn edges, mounted onto a white textured substrate. A yellowish-gold highlight is visible on the far left edge of the turquoise paper. The work is signed in the lower right margin with 'Aloha n Edie Ugich' in a brown or bronze-toned ink with a cursive hand. The piece is professionally presented with a dual-matting system consisting of a narrow inner apricot or peach-colored border and a larger off-white textured outer mat. The mounting appears to be a 'float' style, adding dimensionality. Condition-wise, the artwork shows minor signs of aging with a small brown foxing spot or blemish on the right-hand side of the peach mat and some light surface dust. The craftsmanship indicates a mid-to-late 20th-century aesthetic, common in Hawaiian or coastal-themed modern art. The deckled edges and layered mounting suggest a high-quality, boutique studio production rather than mass-market printing.
