BECKY BIRINYI

 


I am a mixed media artist whose primary means of expression has been through various printmaking mediums both in editions and unique prints. Color and its effect on what is next to or surrounding it, has been a dominating force in what piques my interest, and what I gravitate towards. Contrast, texture, and pattern also play a part, but it always starts with color.

I have been reflecting on these past endeavors and want to add to my visual language. Besides repurposing old prints into different works through collage, I have been using my travel sketches as a source of inspiration. Using color pencils, pastels, watercolors, or oil paints, I have broadened my approach to texture and mark making. It becomes more of a distillation of the image rather than a detailed study.
