I love when a piece ends up feeling energetic without trying too hard. Bright colors, bold shapes, a little retro, a little weird… exactly the kind of painting I hoped it would become. Hope you enjoy seeing how it all came together! 🖤 🎨 • RhiteTrash.com
Pink Noise, gel plate and collage Sometimes a collage only comes together after you stop trying to control it. 🏷️ collage art • abstract collage • gel plate printing • monoprint • mixed media • contemporary abstract • intuitive art • acrylic paint • torn paper • layered composition
This one sat in my studio for a while because I wasn't sure if it had anything left to say. Sometimes the hardest part isn't making the marks. Layers of paint, paper, texture, and a little patience. abstract collage • monoprint • gel plate print • mixed media
Just layers of acrylic paint, construction paper masks, spray paint, and a little patience while each shape found its place. I love seeing how simple materials can create unexpected textures and depth when they’re built one layer at a time. #printmaking #gelliplate #artist #lgbtqartist
Sometimes the best paintings arrive by accident. This is still one of my favorite pieces I’ve made. I wasn’t chasing a finished image or working from a sketch. It was simply one layer reacting to the next. RhiteTrash.com
No collage this time. Just acrylic paint, masks, handmade stamps, and layers built directly on the gel plate. Sometimes stripping the process back lets the composition breathe in a different way. This one reminds me of heat shimmering on the horizon. 🎨 RhiteTrash.com
BLUE HOUR Less about making a statement and more about finding balance between texture, shape, and negative space. I’m still deciding what I think about it… and maybe that’s the point. 🏷️ Abstract collage • Contemporary abstract art • Gelli plate printmaking • Mixed media • Acrylic painting
I’ve been spending a lot of time exploring collage. This one feels somewhere between architecture and landscape. Every layer started as a pull from the gelli plate, then slowly found its place. 🏷️ Abstract collage • Contemporary abstract art • Gelli plate printmaking • Acrylic painting
Made with a destination in mind. 🩷🧡 I created this one specifically for my husband’s office at work. I started with a color combination I’ve been loving lately and let the rest happen intuitively: blocks, pathways, circles, imperfections, and layers building on top of one another.
FACE 003 Print on 90LB archival paper Rhitetrash.com Built intuitively using layers of gelli plate printing, collage, and acrylic paint. Bold color, repeated forms, and textured surfaces come together in a rhythm that keeps your eye moving. #gelplateprinting #artforsale
Sometimes the best paintings happen when I stop trying to make my kind of painting. This one took a sharp left turn. Somewhere between printmaking, signage, and pure abstraction. Experimenting is half the fun. 🏷️ #gelplate #printmaking Contemporary abstract • Gelli plate printmaking • Mixed media
UNTITLED COLLAGE I kept layering gelli plate prints, collage, acrylic paint, and those familiar black dots until the composition finally settled into place. I’m leaning into repetition more lately, and I think these dots are slowly becoming part of my visual language. 🏷️ Gelli plate printmaking
Maybe something like a lava lamp? Using tracing paper as a mask and making any shapes that come to mind. #gelliplate #artist #abstractartwork
Trying out a new color palette with this one. 🎨 Give me Palm Springs. 🌴 Built intuitively using my gelli plate, layered acrylic paint, and hand-pulled textures until the composition finally clicked. Sometimes changing the colors changes everything. #gelliplateprinting #artist #summervibe
Another relaxing moment with the gel plate. Prints like this are the kind where I get to turn off my mind and just let what wants to happen take hold. And of course collage. ☺️#printmaking #painting #gelplate #mixedmedia
Sister prints! I’ve added acrylic ink to the motif and I like how that turned out. Gel plates are some of the most forgiving tools I have ever painted with. #gelplate #acrylicink #artist
Another one fresh off the gelli plate. This piece layers collage, acrylic paint, stencils, and intuitive mark-making into something that only revealed itself at the very end. I’m really leaning into dots lately… I think they might be sticking around. 👀
Using the gel plate has such a calming effect on me. I kept this one simple just so I could enjoy the creating part. #gelplateprinting #printmaking #simpledesign #artist
Every piece begins the same way: paint, paper, and no plan. I follow the layers until something appears. #gelliprinting #collageartist #abstractartwork
