“Mixed Messages”
I am a modern contemporary artist with many new creative and innovative ideas.
I have always been drawn to the creation of art and began designing at a young age. Throughout college, I started out as an
apprentice to an interior designer. Paint chips and fabrics were my world. Midway through school I was drawn to graphic design. I
received a degree in Graphic Design and went on to start my own business (MasuDesign.com ) creating business identity systems.
My true passion in life is creating art and I continue to take classes to enhance my skills.
As a painter, I really enjoy bold colors with abstract/geometric shapes. Some of these paintings are non-objective and come alive
with color and shape.
By experimenting with new mediums, my artwork has evolved to include: clay, photography, digital art, and metal sculptures.
Now I find that mixing mediums (collaging) is irresistible. Mixing steel, with stainless steel, and copper, or digital art with paintings
and photography creates opportunities for endless design possibilities.
My clay and metal sculptures are usually abstract with a whimsical twist. I especially love arts that require my hands getting dirty
because I enjoy bonding with the materials, and want that joy to pass through the artwork to my viewers.
Art creates a healthy atmosphere in my life and balances the hectic emotions of every day living.
