Deconstructing the False Self Mixed Media Painting

Deconstructing the False Self, collage and acrylic on 30"x 24" canvas was created in April 2023.

"The False Self constructs all sorts of layers of ego and angst and striving and foolishness, while the True Self, deep at the center of a person, waits for the time when the False Self will die and allow the real life to begin." - Vinta Hampton Wright

I have recently started working with more collage to enhance my composition or ideas - as I'm not so realist in my own representations. Using outside images allows me to more fully explore the conceptual elements or representations in my work.

I have been an artist for over twenty years and have been regularly selling my work online and in person since 2016. I take pride in the work I create and how it reaches my collectors. My artwork ships unframed, bubble wrapped and flat in cardboard- from a local, family-owned shipping store (USPS, FedEx and UPS options available).

If you are in the Baltimore area and would like to see the work in person before purchasing, please message me to arrange for a studio tour or in-person delivery options.

My artwork will make your space more dynamic; great for an office, yoga studio, meditation space, bedroom or where you might want added inspiration, it will add color and dimension to any wall. Photos of my artwork are taken in varying light conditions and in different rooms of my home and workspaces.
