Paint Skin Collage Series, 2020 - 2026 Selected Examples

I incorporate scrap materials from my “day job,” painting murals and large-scale backdrops and scenery (for television, theatre, museums, cruise ships, parades, retail displays etc.) to make colorful, inventive, post-human paintings and collages. Working in the entertainment and production industries keeps me acutely aware of the colossal amount of waste they create, and I often salvage materials. I even peel the dried paint from the inside of my five-gallon mixing buckets: these "paint skins," as I think of them, are truly beautiful as objects in and of themselves and have been the basis for hundreds of collages in an ongoing series.

Each collage comes with a white frame and white mat, measuring 11x11" total. 
$85.00 each. To purchase, contact me directly.
