Holding On
"Holding On focuses on many components of multi-layered airbrush, flat stencils, and rich textures. As pigments separate, they create a luminous glow, while watercolor-like washes contribute to the piece's visual complexity. This painting strikes a balance between light and dark tones, inviting the viewer to explore its intricate details and appreciate the beauty in holding onto the diverse elements that make up our lives." - Sheila Kernan
Kernan's boldly coloured and meticulously layered mixed media compositions often combine applications of flat acrylic surfaces and airbrushed accents with hand-cut stencil elements and richly textured oil impasto. Canvases are finished with white-painted sides and are ready to hang framed or unframed.
