Girls Just Wanna Have Fun abstract art

As a self taught artist, I love the experimentation process and feel my style is constantly evolving. While I use mainly acrylics, you will always catch glimpses of a variety of other elements in my artwork. I enjoy the use of bright color, contrasting values, heavy texture and collage. I use my hands, brushes and a palette knife to build up multiple layers of paint, papers and acrylic medium, resulting in a heavy distressed texture. I naturally bring a simplistic, light-hearted and whimsical spin on everyday objects, whether flowers, animals or bicycles. I'm always inspired by God's word, something beautiful I've seen in nature, or eye catching color combinations coming from God's amazing color palette. My playful style has been greatly influenced by over a decade of teaching art to children. “I’ve learned so much from watching children create-they have no fear in the creative process and have so much fun!”
