PollyPainting

My mixed media paintings combine bits from maps and vintage encyclopedias with thick colorful paint. My usual method is to do these from still life set ups in my sunny studio. For me, still life is a subject matter where I can express ideas about the temporary joys in my life as well as using colors and shapes to evoke emotions that aren't so easily put in words. The words are always floating around though...in this case they show up in collage pieces of text.
