I hide my signature under the canvas.
Because the being comes first.
Not the artist.
The signature is still there - quiet, hidden, almost like a small artifact.
The artist creates the portal.
The Echo steps through.

Artists craft their live performances from the album's foundation. They skillfully adapt what's doable for a live setting, constructing the perfect stage version. #LiveMusic#ArtistProcess
I don't just paint; I build.
"Genesis 01" features heavy-body acrylic applications on canvas. Every stroke is intentional—creating a sculptural texture that demands to be seen in person.
This is about the permanence of touch. (2/3)

The best version of an artwork isn’t always the one you planned.
In this final clip from papercut artist Andrew Benincasa’s process lecture, he describes how many of his strongest works evolve toward the end. Not because his original plan failed, but because making art is often intuitive.
You have to feel the work with your body and respond to what’s actually happening on the canvas.
When has a work in progress surprised you?

Our visiting artist in residence this quarter, Andrew Benincasa, describes his papercutting process as one of constant revision: erasing, changing, stepping back, and returning to the work with fresh eyes. He's not only trying to get each part to look right. He's watching how each part changes the feeling of the whole artwork.
That's the real work of composition, and it's because of his attention to relationship and balance that's he erases so much throughout the process.
How much are you erasing in your art practice? And how often do you step back from a work in progress to see what the whole is doing?

Painting to Music: Music sets the tone in my studio. Before I begin a new painting, before the first mark lands on the canvas, I take a moment to consider what it should sound like. brandysaturley.com/?p=9523#artistprocess
Some close ups of my most recent experiments 🤩
Tried some salt water sprayed on to watercolor/acrylic paints mixed with mica powders and I’m really loving the results 💯
When art meets science, magic happens 🤷🥹
