Commission Artwork 

Traditional

I use 3 different techniques for my Traditional Paintings. All of my art work is done in Acrylic Paint on Canvas. It is water based. I mix water to thin out paint and give it a watercolor affect or thicker layers for texture. Impasto is what gives the image an elevated 3D affect. I use layers of modeling paste and gel mediums. This application may take up to 24 hours to fully dry before applying color; even longer if adding 2nd or 3rd layers of paste for extra volume. Mixed Media includes Acrylic Paint, Impasto, iridescent mediums, mica flakes, glitter, and/or Swarovski crystals. Iridescent mediums gives a metallic and shimmery look. The final touches are Mica flakes, glitter, and/or Swarovski crystals.

Contemporary

This Contemporary Artwork contains a variety of modern styles and unique colors to match any living space or office. Water contains 2 color tones with a strip of gold, silver, or copper glitter separating the 2 color tones giving off a calm oceanic look. Diamonds includes a textured combination of colors, with half of the canvas covered in gold, silver, or copper glitter. Marble speaks for itself with your choice of color combination and gold, silver, or copper glitter. Rooted has the effect of roots, including your choice of colors, and gold, silver or copper glitter. Heavens is a galactic heavenly style and the only one that contains Swarovski Crystals. Each Canvas is varnished with a clear gloss coat that keeps the glitter from rubbing off.
