MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS
I really love experimenting with mixed media on canvas. Most of my mixed media pieces include many layers of crumpled and decoupaged tissue paper or newspaper, paint, washes, stamps, stencils, drips, drops, and doodles. You might even see words, phrases, lyrics, poetry, and bits of literature scattered throughout. I love swirls and patterns, giving each piece its own sense of unique whimsy. Over the years, I have really adapted to the trance-like line work style which I add on with sharpie marker as the finishing touch that visually ties each piece together. Not only does it serve the piece aesthetically as it has become a signature staple and recognizable element in my work, but it has also become a very therapeutic process for me, personally. One would think that the such detail would get tiresome or repetitive, but I find much peace and tranquility through the repetition my line-work on the canvas.
SKETCHBOOKS
Here are a bunch of sketchbooks that I have created, dating back to 2008, up until now. All of my sketchbook pieces are 8×10, and done in various mediums. The mediums I love to use the most in my sketchbooks are watercolors, watercolor pencils, acrylics, crayons, pastels, pen and inks, and magazine cutouts and other random mixed media. I also love to use quotes and lyrics from my favorite songs or literature.
