FAQ

What is a resin painting?

A resin painting is a piece of art created using a technique of pouring a layer of resin, sanding, painting, then repeating until reaching the desired result. The finished piece then has the appearance of being 3D from the drop shadows of the paint suspended in the resin. 

How do you care for a resin painting?

Like any work of art, a resin painting will last longest when displayed out of direct sunlight. While I do use a UV resistant resin, there is always a chance of the resin yellowing. If the resin needs cleaning, use a gentle cloth as resin can still scratch even after fully curing.

What materials do you use?

When creating resin paintings, I use Ecopoxy UVpoxy resin, various powdered pigments, Golden acrylic paints, Copic markers, Copic multiliners, and even gel pens. If the painting has sculptural aspects, I generally use Cosclay polymer clay or Apoxie sculpt.

For my illustrations, I enjoy using Copic markers, Copic multiliners, Faber-Castell polychromos, and gel pen.

For any digital art, I use Procreate on iPad Pro.

How long does a resin painting take to make?

The time to create a resin painting can vary greatly depending on size and how many layers needed for the design. Generally, most projects fall between 3 weeks to 3 months. Every layer of resin requires 24-48 hours of curing before it can be worked on, with projects ranging from 7 layers up to 25 layers at 0.25” thick or less.

What inspires you?

My art has always been inspired by creatures, adventure, emotion, and imagination. From a young age, I loved reading fantasy books about animals and magical creatures with lots of action, adventure, and learning experiences. A lot of my artworks started as illustrations of these stories and then grew into my own characters and visual stories. As I began working in resin, this translated into a feeling of my artwork becoming a portal into my imagined worlds and creatures, hence the term “Fantasy Portals.”

How long have you been doing art?

I have been making art from the time I could hold a pencil. From the age of 6, becoming an artist was one of my dream careers whenever anyone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Around the age of 15 is when I really began taking art seriously and exploring and honing my skill.
