Before I list my Everyday Life Series on the net, I'd like to share with you a brief history into what influenced the works.
I have been working on these more mature works since 2003. They are a construction of photographic collage, resin, oils and other mixed media on wood panels or masonite. All the images are of my own photography of landscapes, models, skies, buildings, etc. Most of the artworks have been created using images from my cross-country trip of over 3000 photographs. Couldn't wait to get back and start painting! I have truly put my heart and soul into them.
The U.S. is such a beautiful country. An entire continent of oceans, forests, desserts, mountains, farms and vineyards. Nothing can be truly appreciated without knowing it first. And yes I am a bit partial to my homeland☺
Pictures of the summer 2004 road trip, view below
Rent an RV and travel around- a road trip is in order. It's a great learning experience and will definitely stimulate the creative mind. Obviously couldn't list 3000 images here so i just randomly chose some.
