My original paintings are created by combining paint, chemicals, metal and the physical laws of nature which result in chemical reactions that are integral to the finished abstract paintings.

 Art By                        Reactive Paintings on Metal

Original Reactive Paintings on Metal are created by combining paints, chemicals, metal and the physical laws of nature to create beautiful works of art.  The process starts with shaping sheet metal into a canvas form and preparing the metal surface.  Next, chemicals and paints are applied in various combinations starting the reactive process that is integral to the art.  Typically multiple layers are employed prior to achieving the final result.  The finished product is sealed with an anti-yellowing clear automotive finish to protect the painting.  Original paintings are both touchable and have texture which varies by painting.  In addition, each piece employs a hanging edge on all four sides on the rear of the painting to allow for hanging in any orientation desired: right side up; sideways; or upside down.

The Artist

JOYCE A. VUKELA-MAYER

Rather than capturing beauty in nature, Artist Joyce Vukela-Mayer captures beauty through nature creating what she calls “reactive paintings on metal”.  Joyce starts with sheet metal which is formed into a canvas shape.  She then uses various chemicals, water, paint, pigments and time, and allows the environmental forces of nature to direct the path of her paintings, many of which have themes from nature in addition to being formed through natural processes like oxidation.
