KAPOW!
"Kapow!"
12"x12"
I cut thin triangle pieces from hand sprayed paper and layered them on top of one another to create depth. The triangles are coming out from the center creating an explosion of color, shape and pattern. The shape can be seen as an explosion, flower, star or even a colorful sea urchin. I like to see it as a burst of light, an explosion of playful color. Pasted onto natural wood, there is a fluorescent orange mist sprayed over the piece.

Ice cream cone Mountain
CLOUD MOUNTAIN
7"x7" (collage without frame)
8.5"x8.5" (collage with frame)
I wanted to make a magical little island that floats in the sky. I added hot pink crystal mountains and a row of green trees. The mountainous landscape is growing from a batch of different colored clouds beneath it.
ICE CREAM CONE MOUNTAIN

8.5"x8.5" (with frame)
I wanted to create a magical yummy place, where the trees are green and the clouds are made of strawberry ice cream. This can be seen as an upside down landscape or a colorful ice cream cone.

Magic Mountain Horizon & Crystal Ball
10"x13" (collage)
11.5"x14.5" (collage with frame)
I got some new spray paint, fluorescent green, pink and yellow. I wanted to make something extremely bright, colorful and fun. To create the mountains, I laid down string and sprayed bright yellow, pink and green on top. I then misted some white, to make it resemble a beautiful starry night. I created several dozens of unique papers, using lace and string to create patterns, I then used these papers to create the trees, sky and triangle collage beneath it.
5"x7" (collage)8.5"x10.5" (collage w/ matte and frame)
I wanted to create something with some dimensionality, so I worked from back to front, laying triangles on top of one another as I worked towards the center.
