The artwork I create reflects who I am— a balance of careful planning, spontaneous exploration, and a touch of messiness.
MessageCollection: Abstract Acrylics, Inks, Dyes, Waxes & Caulks — made with acrylics, inks, dyes, waxes, caulks, and mixed-media surface materials.
Abstract mixed-media paintings are created through layered applications of color, texture, staining, and dimensional surface work. Acrylics and inks provide saturated color, washes, pours, drips, and gestural marks, while dyes create softer staining effects that sink into the surface and produce atmospheric transitions.
Waxes add depth, translucency, sheen, and subtle veiling, while caulks introduce raised lines, ridges, seams, sculptural texture, and physical movement across the composition. These paintings are built through an experimental process where fluid color and tactile materials work together to create abstract pieces with organic movement, rich texture, and strong material presence.
