Dreaming Awake
My art is a reflection of the dual nature of existence—the mundane and the magical. I'm often drawn to the liminal spaces between dreams and reality, where the familiar and the fantastical intertwine.
Often described as Ethereal & Timeless by some customers, though I more see my recent work as Romantic & Velvety.
ESCAPISM,
FEMININE EMPOWERMENT,
the DIVINE,
a TOUCH of the INFINITE,
or even SIMPLE MAGIC.
01
Theme & Meaning
Each of my pieces begins as an art prompt, which I create. This process begins by choosing a theme for the collection of prompts and then a list of 8-12 ideas I would like to explore under the umbrella of the theme.
02
Sketching & Line Work
After searching for inspiration, sketching can begin, and recently I am doing this digitally. This empowers me to perfect line work, test and choose my palette, and create a color plan.
03
Colors
Colors are chosen to help establish a mood, location, or emotion I want the viewer to experience when they see the painting. And a color plan is created to help create cohesive and exciting compositions which move the eye throughout the artwork.
04
Paint & Perfect
Then I print the line work on watercolor paper, where smooth rhythmic strokes and translucent layers create detail, definition, and depth. I finish by perfecting the line work and adding highlights and final details to the foreground. Occasionally, this process includes pens, colored pencils, or gold leaf.
