A few years ago, I visited the Seattle Art Museum, which has a large collection of Aboriginal work. This inspired me to incorporate a few styles so beautifully developed by artists of this genre, both traditional and contemporary. I am not trying to go for the same look as these artists - that would be well beyond me and too much “appropriation.” But I find it interesting to try to fuse this style with various Western ones, including Pop Art!
