The Artist Abroad

The Artist Abroad

If you would have told 16-year-old me that she would leave not just her home but her country to go live in places like Japan, America and Canada she wouldn’t have believed you. But at 28 years old that same girl cried her eyes out as she said goodbye to her moms before boarding a plane to join her husband in Texas.

Saying goodbye has always been a massive thing for me but, instead of shying away from it, I have embraced it. I live a life in which I have to say goodbye to everything that is familiar to me on a semi-regular basis.

Goodbyes remain difficult though, which is why I have this uncontrollable urge to capture every inch of the places I visit, so I can hold on to them when I inevitably have to leave.

In my studio, I fuse my photos into condensed memory scapes. To preserve the physical connection to the places I love, I choose to use transfers of the actual photos combined with acrylic paints and mediums to create mixed media scenes that capture the essence of my memories.

    Hello Denise! I just found your video! Thank you for sharing your techniques, I know many artist keep those close the chest. I read that you print the original images using a laser printer. What type of paper are they printed on? I would obviously have to have a print shop do this for me as I do not have a printer to accommodate my photographs. Can you please share the type of paper you print onto and the weight or texture of it? Thank you so kindly. You have clearly inspired so many!

  • @TheArtistAbroad
    @TheArtistAbroad2 жыл бұрын

    I use a thin glossy paper (80 lb text) but which paper works best depends on many factors, sometimes even different batches of the same type of paper react differently. That's why I always recommend testing different papers to find the one that works best for you.

    This was back in July of this year, during the event all the exhibitors were required to wear a mask and had to step out of their booth when people wished to enter. For many of us this was the first time interacting with collectors in real life in a year and a half, it was a wonderful experience!
