Mixed Media Girls
A Mixed Media Girl illustration is initially inspired by the original photograph. I alter the surroundings with abstract details and meticulous patterns. The final outcome is often playful and eclectic. The girl is either a prop to the pattern or just part of the canvas. I add the girl to put the patterns into context.  I want to enhance the photography, not drown it out.
