Acrylic painting on paper.

I made this collage using tape that I had used before to make clean edges around paintings. The tape looked so cool as I was peeling it off that I couldn’t bear to throw it away. And now look at it! Recycling at its best. 🥰

Happy Spring! 🌼🌺🌷🌹☀️

I’m exploring different ideas for making collages that look like paper quilts. Sooooo excited by this last batch of paper experiments that look like expensive batik fabric, and not what they really are—cheap printer papers painted with acrylic paint. Success! 🥰 #collage #art #artist #quilt #painting

Recent pages in my tiny sketchbook, these were all done with Posca acrylic marker pens. #sketchbook #artist #art #artprocess #artjournal #posca #acrylicpainting #sketchbookflipthrough

A few more pages in my tiny acrylic sketchbook #art #artist #sketchbook #landscape #landscapepainting #painting #acrylicpainting

This is my new 4 x 6“ sketchbook dedicated to acrylic studies. The small size gives me a low pressure place to explore lots of different ideas very quickly. 🥰 PS-Once dry I put a very light coat of wax medium over the pages so they won’t stick! #art #artist #sketchbook #acrylicpainting #abstractart

Thanks Patty!

And it’s all about having fun! 🥰

I made a few collages yesterday, using the inside of security envelopes, some of my painted acrylic papers, and a few printouts of newspaper headlines. 5 x 7 inches each. Small sizes make it easy and stress free to experiment. Great fun. #collage #art #artist #abstractart #artonpaper #paperart

Thanks, yes, I just squeezed out the paint directly onto the paper. It was kind of a no guts, no glory moment. 😂

Flip through of some of my sketchbook work this week. It has become my calming space where I go to try to relieve some of my news-induced anxiety! #art #artist #sketchbook #acrylicpainting #watercolor #abstractart #abstractpainting #artjournal #arttherapy

I spent most of yesterday working on this concertina #sketchbook. An ongoing project that I dip into every few months or so, it still has a long way to go before I call it done. But it’s fun to revisit it with fresh eyes & just let my ideas flow.

Thank you so much! 🥰

These are some of the scenes I wanted to remember along the road to Yosemite National Park. I can’t wait for warmer weather so I can go back up there again and fill yet another sketchbook! 🥰

30 Day Sketchbook Challenge, day one. The prompt for today is "Back to Black", but my main inspiration came from delicate raindrops I noticed hanging from branches during my afternoon walk. #sketchbook #abstractart #mixedmedia #acrylicpainting #dailyart #painting #originalart #sketchbookpage #rain

I made a stack of quick black-and-white sketches yesterday of various views at Yosemite. Trying to figure out how to move forward to make collages, but I really love the simplicity of black-and-white! #sketch #blackandwhite #artistprocess #artprocess #art #ink #inkdrawing #inksketch #artist

Stunning! 😍

Another productive day of making gel plate monoprints, all with Yosemite on my mind. I honestly don’t know if I will have the heart to cut up a few of these for the collages that I’m planning! #gelplate #gelliplate #monoprint #printmaking #art #artistprocess #collage #originalart #artmaterials

I’m currently busy making monoprints with acrylics on my gel plate, trying to get lots of different colors and textures. I will cut them up to use in some future collages (or at least that’s my plan), so I can never have too many options!

I just finished filling this sketchbook with floral paintings, mostly done in watercolor, and a few in acrylic. Very happy to meet my goal and finish this project. Onwards to my next art endeavors! 🥰
