Meet the Maker
Hello and welcome to my corner of Go Imagine!
After my crisis counselor shifts, I always looked for ways to decompress after my shifts. I found fluid art painting through YouTube and it brought a sense of ease and calm so I could fall asleep. I started dabbling in this art last summer and it has been so fulfilling and joyful, such a release. Friends and family know how important mental health awareness is to me and I wanted to share that through my art. If I can bring joy and peace to anyone with this art that playfully flows across the canvas, that fills my soul.
Thank you for visiting,

How it’s Made
To create Crimson Bloom, I employed the flip cup technique, an engaging acrylic pouring method. I began by selecting a vibrant palette of red, pink, white, and gold acrylic paints, mixing each color with a pouring medium to ensure a smooth flow. I also added a few drops of silicone oil to the mixtures to encourage the formation of bubble-like cells.
Once the paints were prepared, I layered them into a single cup, pouring each color in a way that allowed for a beautiful blend without fully mixing them. After the cup was filled, I flipped it upside down onto the canvas, holding it for a moment before releasing the paint.
As the colors flowed out, they created stunning organic shapes and intricate patterns. I then tilted the canvas in various directions and spun it on a spinner to help the paint spread and interact, allowing the colors to blend while forming the desired cellular effects. To enhance the cell formation further, I used a torch to apply heat, which caused the silicone oil to rise, expanding the cells and adding depth to the painting.
