These mixed media portraits are the result of lots of experimenting over the years. When working digitally I sometimes feel that I miss the energy of traditional mark-making, and when working traditionally I sometimes feel that I lack the polish I can get digitally and even some of the spontaneity allowed when being able to endlessly change and move things around on a digital canvas. For that reason, I’ve really enjoyed working on these pieces and being able to combine some of my favorite aspects of working both ways.
