"Be Creative," 12" x 12"

Mixed-Media on Wood Panel (Acrylic, Comics, and Resin).

“Inspired by some of my artist friends who are always creating new series. I had never grouped my painting into collections until my website. Once all in one spot different categories began to emerge. Superhero, Disney, Inspiration, Comics, Music, and Games collections. B Series is my first intentional collection. I am all about positivity, optimism, and empowerment, and Be Joyful, Be Grateful, Be Happy and Be Creative all fall under that umbrella.

The backgrounds are newsprint comics from the newspaper. The overlays are bright, colorful, and exciting with coordinating colors on the 1 ½” profiles. These paintings can stand alone or grouped together for a larger impact.”
