"Dancing in the Dark" is a visually engaging mixed media collage showcasing various artistic styles and textures. The artwork features segments portraying realistic scenes, abstract elements, and textured patterns, creating a dynamic composition that invites viewers to explore each unique window into different worlds. The use of collage, acrylic paint, and ink adds depth and variety to the artwork, making it a unique and captivating work of art.

My mixed media paintings consist of acrylic paint and digital collage. They are painted on museum quality archival paper and then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and then framed in a black floater frame. Each piece begins as a digital study on an iPad where the basic composition and coloring is determined before the hand painted original is started.
