Contemporary Abstract Wall Art

My abstract paintings are painted with controlled chaos! Acrylic inks and paint plus inclusions like steel filings are shaped and moved on the support by scientific processes that include diffusion, gravity, chemical incompatibilities, density and magnetism.

Most canvases have painted edges so can be hung without framing or on a simple float frame. Many have been varnished (acrylic varnish) to give protection and should not need glazing.
