Chic Swirlz Photograph

Mixed-Media Artist Former K-12 Visual Fine Arts Educator Community Volunteer Social Justice & Environmental Art I'm a lifetime artist-educator inspired to create by using traditional methods combined with new-media techniques, self-discovery and self-expression. My art depicts personal life experiences, social and environmental concerns, human portraits, animals, and my natural surroundings. Currently, I'm creating abstract photography using acrylic pour painting combined with a technique I created called "splashart"- when water and paint splash together. Simultaneously, I capture video and still images of paint and water morphing, and transitioning into abstract paintings. Once the painting is complete, I many transform it using various techniques to create painterly abstracts, fractal designs and other digital collage-like manipulations to produce digital photography for high quality, fine art giclee prints. Giclee, is a specialized printing technique that uses top quality archival inks to prevent fading over time. The work of art is then shipped direct, offering a more sustainable way to create original and open edition prints in our digitized world while leaving less impact on the environment. Thank you for showing interest in my work.
