A couple weeks ago, my friend Sassy J told me that she was painting her room in a brilliant red and bright orange because she wanted an Indian-inspired motif. And since I can't keep my nose out of artsy things (and because she let me), I used gold paint markers to do Indian/henna-type designs on her bookshelf and nightstand drawer face. She also loves elephants, so I did some elephant silhouettes in gold on her door. I'm hoping she lets me go all-out again, because it was 3 hours of fun for me, and I still have loads of ideas for her room, some of which include fake gems that you can get at a craft store. I'm pretty sure that gems are a brilliant idea --though Sassy J didn't seem so keen on it, so we'll see. Maybe I'll do a border of elephant silhouettes around her room if I have the time and she lets me. Here are some photos of what I did.
I'm a young artist hailing from Western Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Arts in English and plenty of theatre production experience. Most of my work is done in acrylic on canvas, but there are the occasional mixed media pieces and various side projects, including greeting cards and special requests.
With my current body of work, most of which is similar in line structure and media, I hope to strike a nerve with the audience and connect with them on an emotional level. I don't strive to create realistic images that have been seen before in the physcial world. Instead, I try to show the audience a variety of human emotions, in the hope that they can see a part of themselves in the work that they may have recessed into their subconscious.
