These Snake Hibiscus and Plumeria art pieces were created for the Jungle Art Show at Syzygy Academy Coop in San Francisco. They’re quite different from my other work in its highly saturated tones, but a fun series. For the Hibiscus piece, my snake inspiration was the Yellow-headed Calico Snake, while the Plumeria piece had an artistic license of somewhere between the common Tree Snake and Tree Python.

I created this piece, available as an art print. However, for Wonderland SF Gallery’s last show, I wanted to do a one-of-a-kind art embellishment piece on giclee, incorporating the gorgeous Blue Swallowtail Butterfly and a miniature resin sculpture of a deer skull, painted with silver leaf and acrylics.

I’ve been fascinated by the nightclubs/lounges of San Francisco Chinatown from the 1930s to 1950s, featuring Chinese American caberet performers, entertainers and burlesque shows. Jadin Wong was one of the featured dancers who eventually went to Hollywood, became a comedian and created her own casting company, battling stereotypes along the way. This portrait was based on a NSFW beautiful portrait, but I wanted to make her a little more family-friendly, though modernizing her with a fun dragon tattoo and an elaborate floral headdress, of roses, rather than traditional peonies.
