🪄Lion low as I heal and have Lots of NEW in the pipeline!
📍
Since the launch of my website (link in bio) I’ve been wanting to let go of some paintings at a more affordable price than originally listed. Here’s one of them!
🔗
Filigrazing Lion
16”x20”
Acrylic
2023

I love when my paintings find their homes but what I love most is when a close friend collects or provides a home for one of my works…then I can visit! So everyone please take interest but any friends who’ve been looking to collect an original, here’s a great one to acquire for a deal and either support me directly or through my website!
Fulfilling orders is so satisfying🔗

Hello everyone near and far! If you haven’t got the chance to visit my website yet, that’s okay! We’ll be constantly making changes and updates during this beginning phase.
There are some new items and now we’re including “drop shipping” for select works. So you now can have some of your favorite pieces of mine made to order in whatever fashion you desire 😃

🍑A little about me: My artistic vision began cultivating before my teenage years and it’s taken a lot of time, late nights, meticulous details, patience, failing, emphasizing what works, and exploring the depths of my curiosity from the beginning. Creating art in whatever medium desired is healing, it’s my passion work and my therapist. Don’t ever let people tell you nothing is original because we find originality in our pursuit of a vision. As much as we are inspired by the world and creators that surround us you can find what’s unique to you through your practice. They say nothing is new under the sun, but it’s not about the idea being new or original/unique, it’s about how you choose to create it. Allow the strange and inexplainable in to your life and welcome change. Life is a roller coaster, it hosts many ups and downs and we must choose how to respond to those situations. That’s why I embed roller coasters as a theme in many of my works. We’re finding our you-niverse in our art, and sending messages with our vision, and that’s why I’ve signed my artwork with a scroll since 2014. It’s for reminding us that art is a message and it’s your message to the world. As much as we try to explain how or why things are the way they are, we shouldn’t allow ourselves to eliminate the mystery behind allowing our art and life to reveal itself in the process. Only you can do you the way you do!
-
(Also, if there is a piece or art you’ve seen in my gallery and don’t see available drop shipping merch for it, just message me and we’ll see what can be done about making it a reality!)

#thanks if you made it this far reading my post, you’re committed and making the effort we all need to make on following through with our endeavors!

🐸 BORN IN THE BASS 🐸
•
“Soundbath”
24”x36”
•
I’ve got over 40+ hours on this piece so far. This is where we’re at and you can see where it started.
•
Really happy with where this piece is going!
•
How it started, you ask?
It begin as a commission for a friend and then upon being visited by a friendly tadpole which was developing its legs/limbs, but still had its tail, was taken over by this frog. Life cycles are beautiful, but also tough. The tadpole loses its tail and adapts to learn how to using its new limbs, and I’ve never thought about the transformation of a frog in the way I had after seeing that in between state of metamorphosis.
•
BE like the frog, take a leap.
•
This frog has taken a leap of faith and is ready for its next!
•
Are you? Thanks for all the love that everyone has shared and for the inspirational thoughts we exchanged if you met me working on this.
May your days be bright and glorious.

🐸 Overdue post, but I’d like to say thank you to everyone who helped put @steppasoundfest on especially @mothandflame314

@venusian.visions // Kammie and I had an opportunity to host the art gallery with the help of our good friend @caymanskyyy . The Production of this festival was honestly quite impressive and I’ve never heard a sound system like what we bathed in all week there.

The lineup was actually incredible even though there were many folks I hadn’t heard of. And the seamless transition between each artist, which isn’t necessarily my favorite quality of festival production, was done with finesse 🤌

We certainly got froggy out there, and I can’t wait to refine and wrap this painting up. See you all at @nocturnalvalley

Probably one of my weirdest and most beautiful paintings 🤔 These snail trails have found their way home! Thanks Stephanie, it was great meeting you at the festival and hearing how you connected with my art! May you discover something new in this piece everyday!

.::.DE-TALES.::.
This painting started on a night of experimentation, and jumping in to the unknown. It’s carved many paths, some of which are no longer present in the work. Wiggling my brushes on the canvas with several colors on the bristles, led me down this sluggish trail. And what was discovered you ask? Expansion and contraction, dissipation and condensation, everything is in a state of flux constantly returning to a gaseous form to be born anew again. The world is on our pinky, the embryo a seed like any other. Our unsung heroes…the snails trail on and help breakdown vegetation and decaying animals; their feces enrich the soil. This nourishes the seed which fell to earth and grew a tree whose leaves maintained the cycle. Both apple and fallen tree decayed in to the soil and let off gases and returned their essence to the process. That essence found its way back through the water and moisturized the gestation, so all could thrive and begin once more.

We go on and on.

Thanks for looking and enjoy 😉

Here’s one of my original paintings that found a home during the Cosmic Kinection Auction!
-
It was copper, so Kammie suggested I paste a penny to it.
-
Fun fact: this painting got destroyed during a storm at ReKinection in 2022, and the painting nearly disintegrated and peeled off the canvas. This has been repainted like 3/4/5 times 😅
Some paintings are constantly reborn in new phases of life.
-
Enjoy and I hope you all have an energetic and positive day!
