Collaboration during WEST

The first day of WEST, I decided to start a collaboration piece in my studio for tour goers to add a little piece of themselves. My vision for this collaboration was simple: for anyone and everyone who felt inspired, to add a little bit of their own touch to the piece and in the end, be able to view it as a beautiful whole rather than many different parts.

This became the final product, after two weekends and a private tour! I think it's absolutely FABULOUS! I received plenty of feedback from tour goers telling me how exciting and liberating it was to be able to be a part of this work of art. They all seemed to love getting down and dirty with the texture paste and paint!

Texas Pride!

What I most enjoyed about having tour goers create this masterpiece is seeing how excited they were to paint! This was definitely a highlight for WEST Austin Studio Tour 2017! Thank you to everyone who made this beautiful piece possible!
