My work could best be described as surreal. My medium is acrylic and collage on canvas and paper. I’ve employed shaped canvases, diptychs, triptychs in my work. The subject matter is imaginary landscapes ( i.e. jagged mountains, unusual flowers, ) along with a person residing in these worlds. The colors are vibrant and texture is integral to the paintings.The meaning of the imagery is open to numerous interpretations.
