Art, maxed out by Tess blair

Explore my maximalist approach to portraiture and figurative art, where my oil paintings and 3D wall hangings aim to tell a story. Each portrait reveals the personality and humor of its subject, using gobs of color and texture to create a unique visual experience, including elements of upcycled art.

Looking to add some dimension to your art? Explore ArtIn3D, where I create stunning 3D wall hangings, mosaics, and sculptures from everyday materials. Embracing a maximalist approach, I use non-traditional materials like paper, vintage baubles, toys, and any found object I can glue down. Each piece of upcycled art is truly one-of-a-kind, offering a unique alternative to traditional oil paintings.

I transform vintage furniture, antiques, and found objects into whimsical art pieces, including unique 3D wall hangings and vibrant oil paintings. This upcycling approach not only delivers sustainability but also adds a maximalist touch of quirky charm to your space.
