“Hidden Harmonies” display musical elements, guitars, and paraphernalia in my dimensional collage style. The viewer sees a familiar shape, a musical instrument, and upon a closer look sees an intricate harmony of texture and color. One just has to scan over the surface to discover paintings within paintings and be taken away on a lyrical musical journey.
In my mixed-media collages I create multi-layered surfaces on canvas to showcase the interactions among colors and textures. Metallic accents complement imagery, words, and bits of found objects. I often add small images of my own representational art into my collages.
I evaluate each dab of paint, scrap of paper, and fragment of ephemera for its color, texture, and symbolic meaning. My compositions emerge from applying these details impressionistically.
