Mix-Media - Abstract

My goal as an artist is to share my memories and experience of nature with people who walk down the same path I do, to be the very best artist I can possibly be and never settle for less than quality in my work. An artist can never be too creative. "We need to transport our viewers into each painting and encourage them to feel the wonder of it."

My work is about a journey. Primarily abstract; it incorporates a love for experimentation with mixed media and color. I work on very large canvases that are gold, copper, and silver leafed. Using the leaf as a reflected light source under acrylic glazes creates exciting and constantly changing images with one's natural light source. The work is a process of building multiple design elements of collage and highly textured areas. It is a layered fusion of leafing, collage and acrylic glazes.
