The elements in this series are sharp lines, geometric shapes and bold use of color. Glazing, sanding and several layers of paint and collage was used to create a limited range of closely related tones. This also helps to create a mood.
When I was working on this painting, my husband was watching this show on Netflix about Marco Polo and kept talking to me every morning about it, so somehow the excitement of his adventures stuck in my mind. Hence the exotic title of the painting, inspired by the Netflix show. I Enjoyed using shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect.
“I enjoy playing with and rearranging colors, lines, and shapes to create
images that I want to look at. I want my work to be surprising, playful, and
provocative. Some of my paintings are doors, others windows. They are all
portals. I continue to use these symbols because they are a joyous and
mysterious language that is somehow both deeply personal and universal.”

Large mixed media and acrylic
$1,775
This large abstract mixed media and collage painting reminds me of Monet's painting of Dahlias, except when you look closely at my flowers, each flower, leaf and vase is a mini abstract painting. Several layers of paint and collage were used to create this work. Some past layers are visible at closer inspection.
It was fun painting this, almost like putting a puzzle together .

“Overlay” This painting is about working in an abstract way with playful geometric shapes and building up layers to conceal and reveal the layers below.
