Oil on canvas and found object assemblage, 2016
Notes from Punky:
I constantly collect materials I like, it's a joyful hobby to visit swap meets, salvage yards, free piles and more to see what treasures I can find. It wasn't until I started using oil paints and studying Frida Kahlo that it all came together and I knew what these collected materials would be used for. It was a very organic progress.
Materials were collected over a 10 year period. Recycled materials include: Metal and glass window box, lace from grandmas scraps, glass bottles, scrap wood, found tin box, used cigarettes, vintage chewing tobacco tins, paper doilies, used paint brushes, deconstructed picture frames and more.

Oil on recycled canvas, 2016
Note from Punky:
When you see this piece up close you will notice a different texture that’s not consistent with my Mos Def portrait. That’s because it’s actually painted over a unknown artists work. When I found this canvas at Urban Ore in Berkeley CA, it had a large flower with thick texture painted on it. I love working with up-cycled canvases and other odd materials!

Oil on canvas, 2015
Notes form Punky:
This is actually my second ever completed oil painting! Before this was created in late 2015 I almost exclusively worked with acrylic paint and india ink.

Note from Punky:
This is my very first completed oil painting. My skills have changed since it was created but it’s a cool look into this moment in time.
