Geniene Functional Art & Accessories
I have been creating artwork for as long as I can remember, in every form, with every media, in every creative way I could imagine. The results became clear after years and years of experimenting, graduating with an Associates in Fine Art and riding my artistic wave in life, that I was a mixed media artist, illustrator.
The boxes are made from balsa wood, I use 4x6 reproductions of my original paintings and adhere them to the top and inside of the box with sealer. The edges are detail with washi tape is hand painted. The washi tape and color of dots will vary as each one is a little different, unique and one of a kind.
