How It's Made
Fluid art is a highly experimental and expressive form of abstract painting. By manipulating paint and other liquids I am able to create mesmerizing one-of-a kind piece. I love the unpredictable nature of fluid art; I never truly know what the final piece will look like until it has dried.
This type of art relies heavily on the fluidity of paint to flow freely. The materials used interact in unique ways, yielding unexpected patterns and effects. I use bright, dynamic, metallic acrylic paints. To get the best consistency, I add a special formula of pouring mediums to the paint. This allows me to produce a desired consistency to achieve the fluidity which allows me to manipulate the paint. I paint on canvas or homemade wood panels. I produce works or using a blower or a specialized straw. Often, I like to apply epoxy to the finished work to give it a glossy finish which protects the artwork and enhances the depth and vibrancy of the colors.
This ability to experiment with colors and textures keeps the journey fresh and exciting each time. I love creating art in this fashion. I hope you find a painting that peaks something within you."
