Fluid Painting
Fluid Painting
I painted on and off throughout my life, more so as a hobby. I mostly painted landscapes and abstract subjects. My grandmother was a skilled painter so I may have inherited some of my ability from her!
Painting brings a sense of calm and focus, while being an extension of my emotions. Fluid painting has only enhanced the ability to express myself in a new way!

I became interested in fluid painting several years ago. Self-taught and constantly learning new and different techniques, I love that there is freedom in creating as the paint moves. Many mistakes turn into "happy accidents" (thank you Bob Ross!).
I love creating individually unique expressions - many times with no specific composition in mind; just the color palate and a technique to see where the paint goes!

Tools & Style
Acrylics!
I have worked the most with acrylic paint over the years. Fluid painting requires a diluted consistency (I use a combination of water & specific medium) to achieve the "flow" and cell reaction of paint across a canvas.
Learning how to get the right consistency was definitely a challenge at first. I've gone through several phases

Learning how to get the right consistency was definitely a challenge at first. I've gone through several phases of trial & error to land on a type of medium I am happy with! It's incredible to see the effect of laying several colors of paint and achieving a colorfully harmonious outcome within a desirable composition!

Tools & Style
I use different tools to create each piece - whether it is a blow dryer, mini butane lighter, funnel drip, cookie cutters, cup pouring, tilting the canvas, finger swiping, silicone oil and/or air blowing the paint.
Each design is unique in how the paint is poured, layered or pushed on top of the other colors. Each painting is sealed & p

Each design is unique in how the paint is poured, layered or pushed on top of the other colors. Each painting is sealed & protected with high gloss epoxy resin or gloss varnish, bringing out each color's brilliance!
