Scenic Painting & Props
With a natural affinity for sketching and a deep love for paint, I apply my knowledge of color theory, inspired by artists such as Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin, and Vincent Van Gogh. Utilizing learned painting techniques such as dry brushing, spattering, wet blending, airbrushing, stenciling, scumbling, and sponging, I translate these principles into innovative and visually compelling scenic artistry and prop fabrication.
