Original artwork description:

I loved the process of creating this piece by layering in the soft background elements and creating a sense of distortion and mystery. The result is this acrylic and mixed media painting of a woman whose expression is thoughtful, yet partially obscured by the abstract, almost calligraphic sweep of hand-painted collage across her eyes. Looking closely, you'll see soft marks made with a china marker. The textures in the background and on her clothing add complexity and a dreamlike feel, as though she’s caught between clarity, presence and disappearance.
