Blue Branches and Blossoms started as a drawing exercise and morphed into a digital rendering. It is inspired by old Asian prints of cherry blossoms trees and the colors of the American flag. Happy Fourth and stay safe everyone! 🙂

Raven Skulls, Messengers to the Underworld. This mixed media artwork is inspired by the mythology of the raven, of a protective beast who journeys into the dark underworld to warn and inform humanity– a visionary creature that can see beyond the threshold of death, into the past and future. Fascinating that in some mythologies, ravens are associated with darkness, but in others, it’s associated with goodness and light, as a creator.

During this emotional times, creation of “Solace” was necessary and a meditative process. It serves as a reminder to connect and treasure relationships with those around you. The background has a celestial quality and utilizes the Flower of Life, symbolic of creation and unity.

Tribute piece of Zillo, my lil sulcata tortoise, who sadly passed away earlier this week. Creating this piece was healing, a testament to art as therapy. I took a few creative licenses with cartoonizing the face a bit, with rounder eyes and an extra large sweet smile 🙂

This “Roses That Grew From Concrete” art piece is inspired by Tupac’s poems, with the core theme of resiliency through adversity. That adversity is systemic racism and prejudice plaguing the black communities and people of color. Without (peaceful) protest and recognition for change to the inequalities, there will be no progress. Silence is complacency and we must continue to move forward through dialogue, revised systems, changed mindsets and most of all, love and community. In Gandi’s words, “be the change you want to see in the world”. Black lives matter. All lives matter.

This Mermaid Shell Mandala was challenging to do, but I’m quite happy with how it turned out, as I didn’t want it to be really overwhelming. Almost the end of May/ Mermay, so had to finish it with a bang! 🙂
