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.

Alien Pirate Ship






12"x12" Original painting and collage on a thick, gallery style canvas, ready to hang. You can frame it if you really want to, but the thick canvas alone makes it look great hanging on the wall. I used very thin acrylics mixed with water to create the background. I didn't have any pre-planned idea of what I was going to make, I simply wanted to enjoy the act of painting. The only colors I used were cobalt blue, red and yellow. The result was this weird watery-blue/green sky and raining red clouds. Next I started to cut and rearrange some tall triangles that reminded me of a sail boat, by adding more triangles started to resemble a pirate ship.

Sunset Structure






"Sunset Structure"
19.5"x26"


I imagine the structure as futuristic oil rig in the water at sunset. Painted on marigold Canson paper, there is a slight texture to the paper. I laid down string on top of the paper and then sprayed a white mist of paint on it. After lifting the string, I sprayed teal and gray from the bottom of the paper. I used automotive decal tape to create the structure made of triangles and I sprayed white and gold spray paint on top.
