Oil and Acrylic
I love the process of painting: the mixing of colours, the spring of the paintbrush. I enjoy the movement of strokes that are free flowing and satisfying. I treasure discovering intricate shapes and features in my work. I play with a variety of shades and contrasts. I appreciate the thickness of paint; how the paint intermingles with the texture of my canvas. I revel in how my body dances to the rhythm of my work.
