My creative spirit have led me in an artistic journey where I have worked as a graphic designer, art director, professional photographer and artisan soaps' store owner amongst other things. It's all part of the puzzle that circles to pull from all the life experiences that come together for my work.
PASTELS: My pastel paintings are created using pastel pencils, pan pastels, and soft pastels of various hardness. The pastel paintings, include a variety of subjects, from wildlife, pets, nature and people. They range from lightly photorealistic to very loose and painterly allowing the velvety pastels to show the intensity of the colors and the buttery texture. I love pastels!
Pet Portrait's commissions accepted for pastels paintings.
OIL PAINTINGS are truly magical with a richness and transparency that pulls you into the painting. I use high quality oil paints and am very environmentally conscious so try to use oils and soap to clean my brushes and also linseed oils as a thining medium instead of mineral spirits as I paint to avoid solvent fumes. My paintings are them varnished to protect them for many years to come.
Expressionistic Series: My painting style is rich and suggestive expressionism. I use mostly palette knives and acrylics, mixed media to paint on canvas. The intricate, textured and dynamic style floods my senses with vibrant colors that I layers and swirl in an emotive creation. I loves the depth and interesting patterns that flows through the canvas when using the knives. The natural process of mixing colors on the knife serendipitously reveal the subjects.
Aixa's paintings have been on exhibit at the Museum of Art of Ventura County, Buenaventura Art Association Gallery, Community Health Hospital in Ventura as well as in the Ventura and Lake County fairs where most of the paintings won awards.
• Pet portraits' reference photos must be high resolution images, clear, showing lots of detail. Without a good reference photo I will not be able to accept the job as you will not be happy with the finished painting. :) Please do not select reference photos that were taken with flash, are taken standing over the dog, are too dark or blurry, are taken from a distance, etc. To get the best photo, take your pet outside or near a bright window (no sun), best light is usually in the shade, do not use flash, get down to the dog's eye level. If the dog is facing the sun/light, then the color of the eyes will show better. Close ups are great! Above all, be patient and take lots of pictures to then select the best. If you have a SLR digital camera, you will probably be able to get the most detail for your reference photo. If you don't have one, ask a friend or family if possible. I will be glad to photograph your dog for $40 (1digital image will be provided). Your pet's portrait will be its best if I you get the best reference photo quality possible. It takes 4 weeks or longer to finish a painting. There may be a waiting list before I can start your painting. If you have a deadline, please order early. Paintings/portraits make a wonderful, cherished memory of your beloved pet. Enjoy!
