Multi media
As an artist, I am passionate about exploring different materials and techniques to bring my pieces to life. I believe that each medium has its unique qualities and characteristics that can be harnessed to evoke different emotions and sensations in the viewer. When I begin a new piece, I carefully consider which materials and techniques will best convey the message and emotions that I am trying to express. I may experiment with paint, pastels, charcoal, ink, or other media to achieve the desired effect. I often work with mixed media, incorporating a range of materials and textures to create a rich, layered effect. One of the hallmarks of my work is a strong emphasis on textures. I believe that texture can add depth, dimension, and tactile interest to a piece, making it more engaging and dynamic. Whether it's through the use of impasto paint, rough brushstrokes, or the incorporation of found objects and natural materials, I am always looking for ways to add textural interest to my work. By combining a variety of materials and techniques and emphasizing texture, I am able to create pieces that are both visually stunning and emotionally evocative. I hope that each piece I create connects with the viewer on a deep level, evoking emotions, and sparking their imagination.
