What an amazing year of mixed media art learning! I’ve learned so many new techniques and ways to use acrylic paint, watercolor, graphite, paint pens, stencils, stamps, markers, tracing paper, tissue paper, watercolor paper, cardboard boxes and brown kraft paper to add pattern and texture to my mixed media art. Here are some of my favorite projects that I completed this summer.
I’m usually the type or artist who likes to have a plan before I start creating - this usually means gathering inspiration, finding reference images, sketching ideas, deciding on a color palette, developing a theme etc. But this past weekend, I did something different…
Last month I spent a week in Newfoundland, Canada attending a sashiko stitching/visible mending and hand quilting workshop retreat organized by Ace Camps Travel. If you’ve never been on a workshop retreat, I highly recommend it!
This month, I taught three silk painting workshops for a local non-profit organization. It was a lot of fun and a huge success. Here's a quick tutorial on how to hand paint on a silk pillow cover.
For quite awhile now, I’ve been hearing about NFTs and have been very curious on what it is. I kept hearing that this is a new opportunity for artists and creatives but I had no idea on the details until I took this course earlier this year: NFT Bootcamp by Artist Catalyst.
My latest batch of hand-dyed fabrics inspired my new fall 2020 color palette. You'll be seeing these colors pop up in products and patterns that I’m creating this fall/winter season. Read this post to learn more about my hand-dyeing process.
