What is mixed media art?
Mixed media is the inclusion of many different types of processes such as painting, drawing, collage and printing in any combination on a surface. The advantage is that it is forgiving! You can build and create a layering effect or get rid of a previous layer that you didn’t like! Much like the layers of our lives, mixed media allows us to explore, experiment, bury and excavate old and new ideas. It is a really profound new form of self discovery.
