Artwork & Calligraphy by Alicia Flynn Cotter
Alicia combines printmaking and painting techniques in her unique mixed media paintings that are inspired by nature, with a focus on modernizing traditional subjects through style and composition.
She paints and prints designs on book pages, copy paper, decorative and homemade paper. Layers of pattern are added using various textures such as bubble wrap, tiles, sponges, rubber stamps, stencils and gel plate prints. The papers are torn and applied to an acrylic painting using gel medium, resulting in a somewhat pixelated appearance.
Alicia also paints in oils, does calligraphy and teaches art classes at the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey in Summit, NJ,
Her artwork can be found at the Evalyn Dunn Gallery in Westfield, NJ.
