Wimsical (painting 20” x 16,” frame 24.5” x 20.5”)

This vibrant mixed-media painting bursts with energy through its overlapping, scale-like shapes rendered in a rich kaleidoscope of colors — reds, yellows, blues, greens, purples, and browns — creating a dynamic, almost rhythmic pattern across the canvas. The composition is elevated beyond pure abstraction by the incorporation of physical, three-dimensional elements: what appear to be decorative metal studs or medallions anchoring two wavy, chain-like ribbons that snake diagonally across the surface, along with a fan-like or accordion-pleated object near the center. These tactile embellishments give the work a mixed-media, collage quality that adds depth and texture to the otherwise flat painted forms.
