I created these paintings by combining acrylic on canvas with collaged images.

 

First, I paint a strong graphic background, then I apply cut images over the design.

 

Finally, I smudge, splatter and drip, absorbing myself entirely in the tactile experience.

​

Each canvas is in the neighborhood of forty-ish inches in width or height.

 

These pieces represent a new direction for my fine art work, and I hope they convey the freedom and fun I felt in creating them.

​

Because, heck yeah I got my hands dirty!
