| Introduction | I find the contrast between optimism and hopelessness truly interesting. Creating art gives me the opportunity to explore these concepts. Images found in magazines, books, and photographs inspire me. I generally start a piece by painting the background. I use acrylic and/or spray-paint combined with various mediums for texture. Next I begin the process of selecting the images to create the main idea or message. I use them to portray both strength and endurance along with tragedy and suffering, which to me is the epitome of the human condition. I then coat the paper images with acrylic gel medium front and back. With the use of a tacking iron I fuse them to the canvas. I then finish the piece with an epoxy resin. |
