Therein you will find 2-D art that I've made by hand. Paintings, drawings, prints, & my latest adventure - collages. There's a link on the left, or you can get there by clicking here: Mita's 2D Fine Art.
The page features selected works from over the decades. Ones that I'm proud of, which I enjoy, & that I feel most continue to represent me over time.
More to come soon, as I'm on a big visual art bender lately. The first piece on the new art page was completed only a few days ago, & more water-media will be posted soon.
Of note, regarding my 2-D art: My first job was as a helper/apprentice with a fine art oil painter in Phoenix, AZ. I learned *so much* working with her for 3 years, between the ages of 14 & 17. I prepped her surfaces in the very particular ways that she preferred, which - if a canvas - often required around a dozen coats of gesso, sanded & steel-wooled in between to create the glass-smooth but still-springy surface that she so loved (inspired by the canvases of her fave artist, Salvador Dali). The skills I learned from & with her - art skills, life skills, the art of storytelling - have assisted me in my own life's work ever since.
I also have a knack for imitating the work of other artists, & I've had other jobs assisting other artists with their own creations, as well, including the detailed painting, itself. Various styles.
Here's a list of the mediums/techniques I'm skilled with:
Acrylic
Oil
Watercolor
Gouache (new to me! Fun!)
Canvas & paper stretching & prep
Oil-based linoleum printmaking
Monoprints
Graphite pencils
Colored pencils
Ink work
Collage
Impressionism
Abstract
Expressionism
Trompe L'oeil
Illustration (figurative & otherwise)
Stained glass
Reverse-glass painting
Sculpture
Mold-building/Cast-making
Plaster
Paper Mache
Clay
Fimo/Sculpey
Metalwork
Soldering
Welding (gas, mig, tig)
Carpentry
Stage-building
Set/stage painting
Lighting design
Costume design & building
Model-making
Beadwork (lots)
Batik
Fabric Dying
Embroidery
Applique
Weaving
I'm sure I've left some off. They'll come to me later. In the meantime, if you're interested in working with/hiring me for an art project/job, & don't see that yours is a medium I'm already skilled with, try me! There's a chance I'm at the very least familiar with the technique, & I'm also quite savvy with new tools & techniques. Cheers!
