in the past few years, i’ve started doing stencil paintings, mostly on canvas but occasionally on wood or random objects. many use my already established stencil designs and spray paint, layering stencils and creating textures with the paint, sometimes augmenting with paint pens, brush work or even glitter. i am currently working on a series of portraits of dyke icons (dykons); the first in the series is rachel maddow.
my most successful foray into canvas painting came during the 2008 presidential election cycle, with my stencil portrait of barack obama. after producing stencil and silkscreen t-shirts, paper prints, stickers, and bicycle spoke cards, i was invited to participate in a national exhibit in washington d.c. during obama’s inauguration in january 2009, entitled manifest hope. two of my obama paintings were exhibited, and one of them appears in the coffee table obama art book art for obama: designing manifest hope and the campaign for change.
my current inventory of available paintings can be found on my etsy shop.
below is a slideshow gallery of stencil paintings i have done in the past. all are one of a kind and most have been sold. please contact me if you’d like to commission a painting.
