Artist I-P > Marla Kenney (4)
MARLA KENNEY - I started looking at mixed media as an outlet for my energies in the late nineties. I was inspired to break out of the more traditional painting I had been and still do through portraiture. The freedom of creating a recognizable image from the chaos of acrylic ink manipulated by plastic wrap was a challenge I jumped into with both feet. I could combine my love of drawing and painting with multi media abstract. I always see nature in some form in my ink work manipulation and expand on that with markers, pastels,colored pencils, acrylic (or whatever works). Ultimately color is the most important thing . I love to see colors react to each other and the excitement of contrast. I find I am drawn to the warm/cool attraction more than adjacents. Its just exciting seeing reds and oranges up against blues and greens!
