I am a mixed-media artist who works with textiles, paint, and thread. My art is weird and sometimes seems inconsistent. Inspiration comes from my inner dialogue and mental health issues.
Still Life Study, Part 2 – WIP Peek

This piece is really starting to evolve: layers of acrylic, texture from rubbing alcohol, and big, chunky floral shapes that feel a little weird and a little wonderful. I’m not quite sure where it’s going yet and that’s the fun part.⁠

This is the second post in my still life study series. I’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes in the upcoming video (currently editing!). If you missed the first post or the studio vlog, you can catch up below.

Medium: Acrylic + rubbing alcohol on canvas

What colors or shapes catch your eye in this stage? I changed the yellow in this piece to a brighter version. I think it was too pale in the first still life. What do think?

The spun cotton sculpture now has hands, albeit in a rough shape. The sculpture still needs refinement but it is coming along nicely.

There's been more progress on one side. I managed to get a bit of detail into the first foot. I am documenting the progress on my Youtube Channel: https://youtu.be/7xGhuBvJQpg?si=Ryoz90sbo4DYSfH1

We are unique individuals, yet we are the same in many ways. Communicating well means that we must learn to appreciate the differences and the similarities.

The sculpture is slowly coming along. I am learning how to create a smoother texture with the cotton. I am also learning how I can sculpt and shape the cotton with the glue mixture.
