ABSTRACT MIXED MEDIA ON PAPER

This is a series about playful abstract expression. Using acrylic paint and oil sticks, I layered the materials and created textures; I also used a paint additive to experiment with transparency and drying times. The color pink shows up frequently in this series - which I was surprised about and allowed myself to be open to, because I typically don’t like and don’t often use shades of pink. This series began as a process of making original collage papers, but also yielded complete abstract moments.

Artworks in this series were created with acrylic paint, glazing liquid, and oil sticks on paper, matted to fit standard-size frames.
