Painting Beyond the Canvas

Artists will add extreme texture to their painting surface, to build up the 2D surface, prior to painting. Artists will then incorporate found or discarded objects into their compositions in an unconventional manner, adding a 3D element to the mixed media work. Artists will be working on 3-4 works simultaneously because paintings will need drying time between layers.
