New Etsy Shop and Content

If you like my work and are interested in buying any of them, or simply checking out new pieces I have created, here is my etsy shop that I just got up and running. I appreciate your support, and am working on setting a schedule to more frequently update this blog. I have about 30 new paintings I have done since my move to Seattle, WA and am excited to share them with you.

For now, here is a couple examples of some of my new work. 

This first piece was created with acrylic inks, both colored and iridescent, which are embedded in a layer of pouring medium. This adds depth and dimension to the piece, and the interference/iridescent inks add complexity as the colors change in different lights. It reminds me of stained slides in a microscope and looks like something from an internal anatomy structure, without being directly referential of any particular structure.  This piece is done on 10in by 10in canvas with painted sides, ready to be put on display. 

This piece was created solely with the use of acrylic paints, which has become rare for me, since I love so many media and can hardly contain myself to just one. It was done during my phase of planet/galaxy interest, and  has an alien sky feel to it. It was done on 9in by 12in paper and comes sealed in an art protector.

Dripping madness

This piece effectively summarizes my passion for texture, and the texture is what caused the ink to drip in such an interesting way. This piece was colored with black acrylic in only, in different diluted strengths.

Persephone Unbound

I have not posted in awhile, being busy with a move across the country and having to abandon 99% of my collection. I am happy to have started fresh and am finally painting on canvas again. This piece was named by someone very important to me, and I am quite proud of how it turned out.

Marbled drips

These pieces were done by marbling the latex paints I worked with on the canvas as they were dripping. The canvas was held up to increase the flow of the paints, which were strung, poured, and dripped in specific ways to create the texture. The fully marbled orange piece reminds me of lava, in the intricacies of the marbling, as well as the colors. I enjoy the latex paints for their self-leveling attributes, and wide range of color choices.

Avatar body pillow

This is an avatar body pillow I just completed for a commission. The element symbols were freehand painted with fabric paint on canvas fabric. The back is done with charcoal colored fleece, for a softer, snuggly feel.

Charcoal old fashioned mask

I have been sketching with charcoal the last couple of days, and here is a test example of a hand held mask.

New artistic painted pillow

This pillow is 14.5 inches by 14.5 inches. I purchased the fabric yesterday after I had painted the circles on my first pillow, which matched in style but not quite in color. I made a new, larger pillow today, by using the same style and matching the colors to the fabric this time. The painted front side is canvas fabric, while the back is fabric made of rayon and polyester.

Painted canvas pillow, part 2

This is my first completed, handmade canvas fabric pillow. I just finished cutting, painting, stuffing and sewing it, and now I'm ready to test it out with a nap.

Handpainted throw pillow, part 1

I just got a large amount of canvas fabric to start making artistic throw pillows. When this is done, it will be approximately 15 x 15 inches, since I prefer square throw pillows. I want to feature a bunch of different colors, styles and sizes of painted pillows. This one is starting as a minimalistic, more subdued circle print, which will be continued on the back. Some of the pillows will only have one side painted, while others will have both. I want some architectural lined prints and some abstract bright colored ones in the near future.
