I’m a mixed media abstract artist, abstract painter and collage artist who enjoys making all kinds of art using all types of materials and mediums. One day I’m painting abstracts and possibly the following few days I’ll work on collages using cut and torn magazines. When I’m done with those I do a few pop art nostalgia style magazine covers.

I derive a lot of my inspiration from jazz when painting abstract art, The music of jazz has always been synonymous with abstract expressionist painting. I can feel the music actually guide me in a direction that is like a conductor of a big band. Hitting the high notes with a bold stroke of bright color or accents of muted tones.

Print them, tear as needed, cut and paste.” less DIMENSIONS 36ʺW × 1.5ʺD × 47.75ʺH STYLES Contemporary ART SUBJECTS Portrait FRAME TYPE Unframed PERIOD Early 21st Century ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS Canvas CONDITION Good Condition, Unknown, Some Imperfections COLOR Black TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES Good See less
