A series of miniature paintings and drawings that began to challenge myself and expand my creative practice in 2024!
In 2024, I set out to challenge myself and expand my creative practice through the exploration of techniques, mediums, and ideas. By week three, I introduced the use of art dice to generate prompts, with my social media followers voting on their top two choices for me to explore each week. The year concluded with more than 60 artworks created — some weeks producing a single piece, while others inspired multiple works. It was an incredible year for exploration that lead to many of the series I am currently developing.
Each piece measures the size of an old Polaroid film: 3.1 x 3” (artwork area) and 4.25 x 3.5” (total area), framed to 5 x 7”.
