The Swallow Kingdom

Paintings

The paintings on this page are the beginning of a style that I am calling my,

intuitive/decorative style.

Part of this style is influenced by the art movements  Art Nouveau, Pre-Raphaelite and many contemporary art styles from the 60's and 70's that included funk and flash and nature.

I love to create with so many different art supplies and concepts that having a muse like a Swallow to guide me has been great to create focus and some glue to tie my work together while I am finding my artistic voice.

The paintings I have created lately in acrylics and mixed mediums ;lus encaustics, has helped me realize ideas I have had for a long time, flying around my brain. 

Although I am sharing paintings on this page, I also use my swallow muse for drawing, creating sculpture in clay, pottery, fabric, found materials and paper mache'. 

Here is a close up of what my swallow diva muse looks like.

 After creating my muse, I decided to apply the style to a self portrait.
