Reverse Glass Mixed Media Paintings by Shawnie Mirandon
I create my paintings on the back of clear acrylic, with the artwork viewed through the clear surface from the front. I use acrylic paints mixed with subtle metallics, blending them with natural materials like sand, shells, sea glass, and rocks collected from beaches, sometimes also creating collages using tissue paper I've hand-painted.
I developed my own painting techniques and process, while also envisioning and creating methods for incorporating the natural materials and paper collages into my paintings to give them a natural look, depth, and life.

About Creating Paintings
I grew up in Del Mar, Ca in a creative environment in a family that loved the ocean and surfing. Inspired by my artist father to become an artist myself, in 2006 I experimented with reverse glass painting, developing my painting technique and the mix of different mediums I discovered I could use.
