Mixed Media

"I discovered the wealth of exotic papers available on the market for artistic uses and began using imported papers to create the abstracted atmospheric backgrounds for my figures. This opened up a new world of communication for me, in that the ready-made papers already have a tone and a mood that I respond to. Mixing mediums is the most thrilling and adventuresome type of art, because you get many unexpected surprises of color and texture. Every time you add something new to a collage it reassembles itself and responds back. It’s a conversation between artist and art." - Susan Krieg

I have become increasingly interested in working with mixed media. I've experimented with wood panel, paint, ink, and paper and would like to continue working with new materials while incorporating photography.
