Melancholia

2.5" x 3.5"

Watercolor on Paper

This is an ACEO portrait of a sad, female face, done in watercolors. The eyes were painted in a crisp, clear style, whilst the rest of the painting was done in a more watery, fluid style. This small piece is quite charming and packs a lot of punch for its size! 

What are ACEOs?

ACEO stands for "Art Cards, Editions and Originals", and refer to artwork that is 2.5" x 3.5" - the size of playing cards or baseball cards. They are fun, tiny, collectible works of art!

Ink Drawing on Paper

This drawing is available for purchase here.

The theme of this highly charged drawing is the mythic concept of existence and consciousness. An array of variously-sized bubbles floats across a black starry cosmos. Inside the bubbles are elaborately-detailed psychedelic eyes, each one bursting with a special uniqueness. The composition of this piece represents the interconnectedness of life amidst our apparent individualities. This drawing is incredibly detailed; you can see close-ups to the right. My abstract artwork is very process-oriented and carries a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. The designs in this drawing arose spontaneously in a stream-of-consciousness manner. While working on drawings that are this detailed, I become so immersed in the work that drawing the images becomes a meditative process through which I strive to achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept of mushin). The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal. There is a 1" border around all 4 edges of the drawing, to allow for easy matting and framing.

Acrylic on Wood Panel

This highly-charged abstract painting flows with the concept of growth, change, and becoming. My abstract paintings are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. While working on paintings that are this detailed and colorful, I become so immersed in the work that applying paint becomes a meditative process through which I strive to achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept of mushin). The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal.

Prismacolor Colored Pencils on Archival Paper

This cute Pomeranian is part of my new Punk Rock Puppy series. I drew her face with vibrant tones to bring out her natural coloring, and adorned her fur with with a sprinkling of yellow-teal stars and red-rimmed pink flowers. Her body is decorated with a dazzling array of colorful designs. The result is a funky, fresh rendering of a much-beloved dog breed! This fun puppy would make a great gift for anyone who adores Pomeranians. This artwork is entirely hand-drawn using Prismacolor colored pencils and has a 1/4" (1cm) border around all 4 edges for easy matting and framing.
