This is a detail from a work I completed while in Florence, Italy. This mixed media work consists of acrylic, Prismacolor, photography, collage and solvent transfer. This is from a series that was inspired by my travels throughout Western and Eastern Europe. The work focuses on images of angelic sculptures found in cathedrals, cemeteries, and city streets of Europe. My work emphasizes that modern cities are patchwork tapestries of various layers of assorted art and architectural styles. Ancient, Classical, Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and many other influences are still prominent throughout much of Europe.
