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.

“Gothic Unicorn” was inspired a bit by the now-vintage 80s fantasy flick “Legend” (sappy love story with a unicorn and a very cool Diablo character). This was created in pen/pencil, photographic abstract textures and digital coloring.

The print will be displayed (and available for purchase) at the upcoming Edwardian Ball 🙂 So excited as it’s one of my fav events in the Bay Area.

Here’s the info:

Artwork: Mantis Florals

Mantis Florals, art by Sherrie Thai of Shaireproductions.com

This piece was created for the “Resolution” Art Show curated by Wonderland SF Gallery’s Irene Hernandez-Feiks, for Palette Gallery, in collaboration with 111 Minna. With a show at the end of the year, and a concept of Resolution, I wanted to explore the ideas of contemplation, purpose and determination. Lotus flowers are long associated with meditation and love. The florals combined with the beautiful praying mantis create a atmosphere of wonder and beauty, a place of stillness and resolve.

The art show rendition includes a real Dead Leaf Praying Mantis, painted and adorned, making it a delicate one-of-a-kind creation.

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.
