Artist collected and hand-painted papers are a distinctive element in creating mixed-media artwork. These papers, carefully gathered and individually hand-painted, offer a variety of textures that contribute to the tactile experience of the piece. When applied to a gallery wrapped canvas measuring 18 × 24 × 1.5 inches, they add significant visual interest and depth beyond traditional flat painting.
Each paper brings its own character, whether smooth, rough, or layered, enhancing the overall composition with complexity and richness. The incorporation of nostalgic and whimsical images within these papers evokes a sense of memory and imagination, inviting viewers to explore stories embedded in the artwork. This technique not only personalizes the piece but also transforms the canvas into a layered narrative that delights the eye and sparks emotional connection.
