Mixed Media Large Canvas
These large-scale mixed media paintings explore layered surfaces built with acrylic, paper, fabric, and found materials. Each piece develops through an intuitive process where texture, mark making, and collage elements interact to create expressive figurative forms..
Learning to Hold Myself
Mixed media with recycled paper collage
48 × 60 inches
This piece came from a time when I was heartbroken about infertility and struggling with the feeling that my body had failed me. As I worked on the painting, I began to realize that before anything else, I needed to learn how to care for myself.
The figure holds her own heart as a way of acknowledging that process. For me, the work became a quiet reflection on grief, self-compassion, and the slow practice of learning to love my body again.
Interior Weather
Acrylic and tissue paper on panel
30 × 40 inches
This painting came from a very intuitive place. I wasn’t trying to describe anything specific. I was responding to my mood at the time and letting the surface build slowly through layers of acrylic and texture.
I experimented with tissue paper in the paint to give the piece more body and depth. The process was about exploration, allowing the textures and colors to shift naturally as the work developed.
For me, this painting holds a kind of emotional atmosphere. It reflects a moment where feeling guided the work more than intention.
Stripped Bare
Mixed media with recycled paper collage on panel
48 × 48 inches
This piece came from a very raw place. I was moving through grief and trying to understand who I was becoming after letting go of a dream I had carried for many years.
I work intuitively, responding to the emotions present at the time. The figure began to emerge as someone being stripped down to the core.
The layers of recycled paper hold the history of that process. For me, the work reflects being undone and slowly rebuilding a life with new meaning.
