I use decoupage to get a master image onto my furniture piece, then I paint out from the image, using a mix of my own line and paint style, striving to meld intomthe master artist's work for a seamless furniture piece. I love the challenge of matching color and style, while at the same time making the piece my own by changing the dges of the masterwork and pulling it out to fit my furniture piece.

I use a combination of decoupage to transfer master classic works of art to furniture, then I paint out from the image and back i tomthe image to interpret the classic work and transform it to fit a piece of upcycled furniture. My challenge is to match and i tegrate my line style and color mixing with the original artists style and to make it all work on the furniture piece I've chosen. I get deeply intomthe zone, the hypnogogic trance, and feel exhilirated while I work.
