Original Abstract Art

I have always had a creative side but never had time to spend on it. Now I am lucky enough to be able to focus on hand painting abstracts with acrylic, gouache, inks, and other water based paints. Almost all the textures are created with paint techniques, not mediums. My work evolves instinctively, involves multiple layers and textures, and references vintage painting techniques and mediums. I am inspired by historical architecture and try to invoke the feeling of old buildings with their peeling, cracking paint and multiple layers of history. Painting is a form of meditation for me so I love when people tell me that my work is calming, because I was calming myself when I painted it.
