8 X 10 Mixed Media
I was nervous and excited to try something other than oil and pastel painting. During a mixed media workshop with Karen Sako, I played with printing my own paper, using acrylic paints, overlapping various papers, and then adding some finishing 3-D touches for the stems on the apples. My nerves subsided and I started playing and having a lot of fun creating this piece.
There are two things that re energize me and allow my creative side to emerge: dancing and painting! I love exploring different backgrounds, textures, as well as incorporating some impressionistic elements to my paintings. Figures, especially women and dancers are my preferred subjects! I enjoy interpreting the power of movement, poses, as well as the vulnerability, elegance, sensuality, and strength in women.
