Koi is an abstract mixed media painting that suggests the feeling of a grey yet luminous koi pond with vivid red koi swimming just below the surface. It is a metaphor for our lives—that there is often more beneath the surface than we know. That beauty that is often overlooked or buried beneath can hold unexpected depth.
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 acrylic paints 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.
