Kay’s Art

If you visited our house, you would notice I love color. There is not a white wall anywhere. I also love flowers and all the shapes and beauty in nature. Watercolor is one of my favorite mediums. My collage process was born out of mistakes. I would paint a painting and love part of it but not another. In the trash it would go. One day I thought, why not cut out the parts I like and trash the rest? I started playing around with the cut out watercolor art and a new process was born. It is more labor intensive, but I love the look. I do not care for watercolors framed under glass. Even non glare glass dulls the vibrancy, so I experimented with mounting finished pieces onto canvas; no glass, light weight, and ready to hang… thanks to Milan’s help. Although I use artist grade paint and acid free matte board fading is possible over time. It is best to hang watercolor paintings away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Recently I have expanded into acrylic paint and collage. All my papers for acrylic painting and collage are handmade and I love the textures I get with this process.
