Making my mixed media pieces involves a variety of processes and materials, many of them hand made right here in Italy. I tend to enjoy mixing a vareity of handmade watercolors, inks, monoprints and metallic papers. What’s your favorite? I use a variety of materials including watercolors, inks, natural pigments and handmade collage papers it often starts with a simple wash and sprinkle of sea salt I gelli print on a variety of papers to achieve different textures gelli printing collage papers starts with mixing my own palette with acrylic paints I often add a few flakes of copper and gold leaf when the paint is still a little wet the fun and mesmerizing puzzle of ripping, arranging and finally pulling a piece together - this could take weeks to get it right. sometimes I take all the pieces off and start over again... taking an inspiration break at peace with my pieces a bit like a puzzle where you make the pieces as you go.
