My Work
Mercury, is truly my name I am a Graduate from the ONTARIO COLLEGE OF ART: Sculpture / Installation Department. I have been able to see Aura's from an early age and my desire to create 3 Dimensional Art work also began as a toddler. I spent many years after High-school as a Professional Make-up Artist which further influenced my keen eye for facial features and the blending of colors. I use a full range of color in my mixed-media, textural, Paintings; combining 'What I See' and use of color therapy aspects ( frequencies of emotional /physical / psychological adjustments occur by viewing certain colors) these can be beneficial to the person in the Portrait as well as others viewing the artwork. Liken to an "open eye meditation".
Textural elements of crystals / gemstones are also incorporated into the oil paint or adhered by a modeling glue compound. Sizes vary as well as materials used to do the paintings on (Canvas, 300lb Watercolor paper, Masonite). Scanning through my work you will also notice I also Love to paint Animals, Angels, and Textural Abstracts both large scale and much smaller.
Sculpture is very dear to my Heart (it was my FIRST LOVE). Though I have not not always been able to get a good-sized piece of Alabaster or Limestone therefore my painting work overshadows my 3D work in quantity. I have since ventured off into other mediums to express "SILENT CONVERSATION" and manifest "POSITIVE POWER POINTS" in the sculptural realm.
