MY PROCESS…

Begin primming, collaging, painting, … repeat, repeat, repeat.

Project image – start to trace, collage, paint

Repeat – repeat & repeat

(Some of the collage is collected from hikes around the country picking up pieces of posters and billboards that had fallen off walls and the billboard. As well as many pages from current and retro magazines.)
