Trash Paintings, 2020-ongoing
Mixed media art waste (often including acrylic, PVA glue, paper, cardboard, and Sculptamold) on canvas board
In my series ‘Trash Paintings’, I only use materials left over from other art projects—unused acrylic paint lingering on the palette, sheets of half-dried glue from the morning after a papier-mache session, snippets of cardboard picked off the floor. Creating with waste emboldens me to explore textures and compositions I’m scared will be ugly. What’s the worst that could happen? It’s already trash.

Paintings from this series appeared in the ArtsWorcester Eleventh Annual One and Scaled Down.
