Flutter - Abstract Original Mixed Media

About Flutter

Flutter was created during a time of upheaval — when familiar structures were shifting and certainty felt out of reach. It holds tension between shadow and ignition.

Darker passages are broken open by flashes of orange and gold that refuse to recede. These fragments push forward, insisting on presence. The surface feels layered and unsettled, as if something is working its way through.

The piece reflects my belief that beauty often emerges through disruption and carries unexpected light.

About My Abstracts

My abstract works are created using the same recycled magazine collage technique as my figurative pieces, but with a different emphasis. Rather than forming realistic imagery from paper, I use small fragments of recycled magazine pages as a starting point—allowing a scrap or two of color or text to anchor the composition. From there, I build an abstract image through layered paint and mixed media.

Why Collect the Original?

Only one exists. Collecting the original connects you directly to the creative process, the hands that made it, and the story behind it.

Collectors often say the same thing: it’s the texture and details that stops them.

The original reveals every layered scrap and every brush stroke that creates depth and movement. It’s the difference between seeing a photograph of something and standing right in front of it—present, dimensional, alive.
