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.

Created this collage art with my abstract leaves illustration in the background, topped with a silver-painted rhino beetle. A jeweled beetle wing lays on top of it, along with some metal findings and enamel paint, than was applied with a lil toothpick 🙂 This was created for the Jungle Art Show at Syzygy Co-op in San Francisco, happening on Thursday, Sept 19, 2019.

Silver Rhino Skull Beetle Vinyl Art

This is a mixed media piece was originally created with pen/ink on paper with digital coloring. It was then attached to card stock, sealed (6 layers), cut out and attached to the painted vinyl record. The rhino beetle (from sustainable insect farm in Asia) was painted, glued and sewn to the record. I then attached a few black rhinestones to the piece and applied resin to finalize it all. A lot of work, but very happy with how it turned out.

Seraphim Scorpion on Vinyl Record

This piece was also created with the same method as the Beetle Vinyl piece, with pen drawing, ornaments and resin. The Scorpion is a beautiful Blue Forest Scorpion specimen (also from a sustainable insect farm in Malaysia), painted silver, purple with little black glitter ornaments. The slight change in color makes the arachnid less menacing and approachable.
