"Dangerous Angels"
Theme
Not every Angel wears a flowy white robe
In 2012, I was going through a tough time in my personal life. I decided to paint a series of angels. The beings that came out in my work didn’t wear haloes. They were fierce and scary, and they were just want I needed to get through that time.

Painting
Personal Expression
The Medium
I was also in grad school, getting my MFA in Illustration, so the creative juices were flowing. I started to experiment with combining oil and digital painting. I’d start with an oil painting “sketch,” which I scanned into Photoshop and painted or collaged until it looked right, then I printed that out and finished it in oil.

After a flurry of painting, the images stopped coming--until 2015, when 3 more emerged. The final piece, "Nightmare Eater," surfaced in 2017.
