“Of Death and Rebirth”, my finished piece for the Skate Art show at Mirius Gallery, curated by Irene Hernandez Feiks of Wonderland SF. The name is pretty straighforward–about the end and beginnings, shown through the skull and cicada, symbols of death and reincarnation. The mandala in the background represents nature’s cycle, that all is repeated. The skull is painted with flourishes, silver paint, and collaged with metal ornaments and abalone. The cicada is also painted with acrylics, color shifting paints, resin and topped with abalone shell–all responsibly sourced.

Floral Moth celebrates beauty in darkness. Traditionally, the moth represents resurrection and transformation of the soul. In darkness, the moth seeks the light and strives for life’s truths. With Native American lore, moths are recognized as dreamguides and a path to recognizing our darker consciousness.

 

This Floral Moth design was created for the Kids and Art Fundraiser benefiting art therapy programs for children with cancer and their families.

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.

Artwork: Scorpion Mandala

“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.
