About this artwork
Friendship, connection, spirituality, nature, and the fantastic are themes of this piece.
This piece was made at my studio in Los Angeles.
This piece is made on muslin, and has grommets in place for easy installment. My process involves mixed media. Because I am so inspired by nature, I engage with plants and draw them. These drawings then become screen prints, which I cut and strategically sew as patterns onto the mixed media painting. Then,… I use a layer-building approach of underlayers and overlayers of water based paints.
Please let me know if you have any other questions about my process or subject matter - I'm happy to discuss!
