My mixed media is developed from abundant natural resources which I call TeraStone. Water
is added to this organic medium and blended to a thick consistancy, then spread out on quality stretched
canvas. I sculpt, carve and cut the TeraStone into abstract or symbolic forms. Formulated
from different types of ash, stone, and other organic materials that are non-toxic. It takes two
to five hours to sculpt the medium depending on size of canvas. Each piece dries flat and hardends like stone. I lightly sand
each work and give it a primer of gesso. The final creative process is painting layer upon layer of acrylic
paint or bio paint to achieve a harmonious blend of colors.
I call this mixed media organic art because I only use natural abundant non-toxic
materials in the TeraStone medium. I offer natural paints and fixative for a completely organic work
of art, otherwise I use acrylic paints, fixatives and primer for a 95% green work of art. Earth friendly art with
heart.
Conservation of our land and natural resources is vital
to the quality of life we have. To honor and respect our natural resources in a symbolic form of artistic expression is
my goal.
