Thistle Makes Art

I have been making art for as long as I can remember. Most of my influence and inspiration comes from the natural world and current events/pop culture. I am heavily inspired by the sounds and styles I hear in music and love to make art about songs or artists! 

My work is heavily influenced by textures and colors found in nature. I tend to incorporate found objects including litter and natural oddities directly into my work. 

My art process is based in layers. When I start each piece, I use each previous layer as inspiration for the next, creating complex and developed collages.
