"Art uses many mediums to communicate with one's emotions and spirit. For me, visual media express my feelings, thoughts and ideas.
My work uses the visual arts to communicate emotional and spiritual messages through treatment of scenes and objects of daily life.
I hope my art will speak to you."
Jeff Mayfield
Mixed Media Watercolor and Gouache Photography
As an Artist and a Photographer, I have always been intensely interested in the creative process. I love both painting and photography. I spend my time in both mediums.
Recently, I have combined both of my favorite mediums, black and white photography and watercolor. I now create a mixed media painting which starts with a carefully planned and developed black and white photograph printed on 140 lb. watercolor paper. The image is then painted with transparent watercolors allowing the message in the image to be further emphasized through specific areas of color.
