Opportunity's Oasis, Print #2, Limited Edition of 25 Print

My present work involves mixed media. I concentrate using acrylic paint, acrylic and other ink types, acrylic gouache, acrylic mediums (including gels and pastes), acrylic resin fixatives, a variety of brushes and pens, and graphite and colored pencils on acrylic gesso primed hardboard panels. Experiments with collage techniques with select pieces have been recently explored, and I plan to continue. My early work consisted of woodcuts and drawings, and painting in acrylic and oil. I have all but finalized earlier woodcut printmaking work that had been put on hold since the 1990’s and have begun new projects. As work in this medium is still a viable option, I look forward to this expansion in my overall art portfolio. Years ago I became enchanted with what computers could do as a tool to augment and enhance my varying processes, and this also led to photography aided by graphic software. With the explosion of information that became available on the internet, I have increased my knowledge of art history and artists throughout the world. I am greatly attracted to modern art, especially the work coming out of and exhibited in New York City and most recently in the Boston area.
