Biography

|
I create my paintings using spray paint and large plastic stencils that I design and cut myself. Often 3-4 different layers (each layer representing a different color) are needed to complete an image. I will sometimes cut a stencil of just an outline of an image and use watercolors, acrylics or house paint to color it in. Although this medium is basically a form of printmaking, I have the freedom to experiment with color, surface texture, and grouping of objects and thus mood and tone, making them each unique. The inspiration for my work comes from the urban community in which I live, childhood toys, vintage botanical prints, my dog Ella, bicycles, street art, random found objects, and things with wings.
