Inspired by stencils and old road maps, I carefully created a mixed media USA painting. First, I used various road maps attached with matte medium to serve as the base layer on my canvas. After that layer was dry, I began to assemble the United States with individual state stencils. I used gelly roll pens, paint and more collage items to bring the entire work together.
