Welcome to the Art of Spadazzle

Welcome to my site! The type of artwork I do is hand painted acrylic collage in bright and fun colors! Almost every paper I use in my collage has been hand painted by me in a variety of different ways. Sometimes I paint with a brush, sometimes I use my hands, sometimes I just glob the paint all over the paper, it just depends. After the painting is all done and I have come up with a design I hand cut all the pieces individually, arrange them like a puzzle multiple times, dump them into a bag and continue doing this until I am ready to glue everything down to paper. Sometimes I have also used printed papers such a scrapbook papers and Japanese washi paper, newspaper, etc. but for the most part my collage is done with hand painted acrylic papers. Most of my artwork comes to me while I am walking or daydreaming, a lot of it is about things that would be fun to see! My artwork has been show both internationally and locally in the U.S.

Kamakura


Went to Kamakura yesterday and was lucky to see a wedding couple as they were coming out to be announced and have their photographs taken. I wondered for about 4 hours all over Kamakura when I came home I could barely move my feet. I think it was good that I was by my self. I don't think anyone else would have enjoyed all of the wondering about I did!

My Projects


Collage techniques. I like the rustic fall colors, I think it would work well for a tree trunk.
