Utilizing layering and texture I create mixed media art using; collage, acrylic paint, hand cut stencils, water color, inks, mono printing, embroidery and other mediums. Some of my favorite techniques are using a 3-D approach to 2-dimensional substrates. Like using watercolor on the back so it bleeds onto the front intentionally. Sometimes when I'm printing I'll use the same paper several times to see what all iterations looks like. It's always a surprise. Then I'll use that print either as is, create with it as collage or take the existing piece a little further until it feels finished. That's the hard part, knowing when it's done. I also create handmade books. I make the front/back covers, stitch them and create a handheld work of art. I also like to make assemblage art utilizing 3-D techniques. Creating with fabric, collage, acrylic paint and found objects. My favorite found objects to use are vintage items i collect and use in surprising ways.
