“Scorpion Mandala” is a mixed media piece with Black Forest scorpions, butterfly wings, findings, and shark teeth, topped off with enamel and acrylic paints. The background illustration was created with pen and ink, then digitally colored. The use of the gear symbol atop the branches is a juxtaposition of the natural and man-made world. The painting of the scorpions and collage of elements changes the scope of a ground-crawler to a fanciful creature of magick and wonder.
The piece 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.

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.

Ouroboros Infinity Snake Art Design is a dark surrealist rendition of the classic mythological symbol, where life arises out of death. My version lies somewhere between the juxtaposed worlds of destruction (bones) and creation (flowers). The piece was created with pen and ink, graphite and a touch of digital coloring.

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 🙂
