WHAT IS THIS? A high quality canvas is the beginning of a totally unique artwork ... every one is different. Traditional metal patinas are applied over a copper metal coating base for effects similar to a bronze sculpture. Batik-like designs are hidden under the colors and enhanced with acrylic glazes. Sometimes various textures are made from acrylic pastes, cement, sand, gravel, etc used. Acrylic paints are applied with care or with certifiably crazy recklessness. Other materials may be glued on top: cardboard, EPS, wire, whatever is in my studio and looks interesting. Separate sections are sometimes used to create separate design spaces. There is a design idea to start and it usually goes out the window by the time I'm done. It's wicked fun!

Artwork is sealed with polyurethane for protection and enhancement.
Sides are fully finished as a part of the artwork and ready to hang as is, stretched on gallery wrapped canvas. Frame is optional but not necessary. Can be hung easily any direction you want!

Each of these patina paintings are completely unique.  Affordable artwork with a lot creativity.

Mixed Media Patina Paintings - Acrylics & Texture, Copper and Rust

My canvas-based works are highly textural with vibrant colors, using abstract yet decorative designs, able to consistently pique the curiosity of those willing to take the time to look.

I am a self-taught artist with a history in ceramics, metal sculpture and engineering. Clay blessed me with a love and appreciation of texture. Working with metal introduced me to patinas and rust. Engineering taught me problem solving and process and the value of testing and failure.

My current journey into mixed media is driven by a desire to create art with many layers, where the sum of the parts has a story and sparks conversations. My unconventional techniques and use of acrylic paints, copper, rust, metal patinas and texturing materials creates distinctive and thought-provoking pieces.

Art is an extraordinary multiverse. Each work is an invitation for viewers to explore, to use their own curiosity and discover something unique. And if we’re lucky, we can share those visions and make a connection.
