HEAVENLY DELIGHTS - Mixed Media Collage

 

HEAVENLY DELIGHTS
Mixed Media Collage - 12x12x1.5 in canvas
Purchase Info

I love using odds and ends of papers as a background for my mixed media work. The scraps of paper with flowers, musical notes and handwriting add an instant feeling of texture, depth and a sense of history to the artwork. 


Then I use acrylic paint to blend edges, stamp designs and add color. For the final layer I like to add pieces of lace, fabric, and photos to finish the composition.

SUNFLOWER MORNING - Watercolor Batik

 

SUNFLOWER MORNING
Watercolor Batik - 12x18 in
Purchase Info

Watercolor batik is a process similar to the ancient art of using fabric, dyes and melted wax to create unique designs. For SUNFLOWER MORNING I used a fibrous rice paper for my base, inked on my design and used melted wax to protect areas of my composition as I painted with watercolors. When the entire piece was covered in wax I crinkled it up and added dark paint to seep into the cracks to create the 'batik' finish. After ironing off all of the wax the artwork was complete. A very fun and creative process with unexpected results!
