“Empress Mermaid” is a regal tentacled queen inspired by ancient Chinese Qin and Han Dynasty fashion with beautiful long-sleeved garments.

The empress wears a necklace made of seaweed and jewels, while her headdress is adorned with shells and florals.

This underwater “Sea Skull” artwork infuses some of the fanciful creatures of the deep ocean with a decorative bent: seahorse skeletons, shells, coral and jellyfish tentacles. I didn’t want to go overboard with color; rather, wanted to highlight the details. Creating decorative skulls is really fun; perhaps I’ll explore glowing eyes in another piece 🙂
