A new chapter begins !Back to the old school for me With over 20 years of marketing and branding experience I am going back to my first love of painting ! I am a contemporary mixed media painter and designer. My abstract work is full of vibrant color and unusual textures. I like to use plaster, sponges, and sand stone in my work. My process involves applying layers of color and texture to create an realistic representation of Gods creationsThe influence of the beach landscape , seascapes and clouds are often apparent in my work. Many of my paintings fit into my "Beach" series or my "Clouds" series. They are inspired by the rocks, cliffs, beaches and landscapes of the Caribbean. My sand and mixed media landscape paintings are my tribute to the beauty of nature.The textural element of my work is important to me. I work on panel and canvas. I invite the viewer to use not only their visual sense, but also their tactile sense to experience my paintings. Please visit www.darcyjsallion.com to view my latest work.
