She uses the Mische Technique. Which is a painstaking Renaissance painting method in which an ink drawing and detailed egg tempera painting form a basis on which layers of oil glazes are built into the final image.

The paintings are a cross between the hyper-colourful black-light posters of the 60′s and the stylized figures found in Manga comics.

My Artwork:

Artist Statement

           My work expresses me in many ways. You can tell what mood I'm in by my artwork. My goals are to expand my artwork to different/bigger ideas. I feel like I just do the first thing I think of. I dont really think about all the possibilities and outcomes that I would have if I elaborated on my thoughts and showed it in my artwork. I want to work on that. My goal is to make my artwork better.
          If I am in a bad mood my work is sloppy & depressing. I would probably use ink or crayons and color out of the lines so to speak. My mood definitely plays a big role. If I'm happy I will use bright colors and use colored pencils or pastels. I would probably also draw or color flowers, birds, butterflies, etc.
          My current work hasn't really included a wide variety. If you look at it you will notice it is mostly collages. I normally stick to the same thing. But I have been trying to challenge myself and use different mediums & techniques.

My pencil drawings

I really like how my pencil drawings turned out.

I honestly don't like working with pencil, but I think I made it work.
