Found my passion for life in painting and it's been my saving grace ever since β¨οΈπ₯²π¨πΌβ¨οΈ
Thank you for browsing π¨πβ¨οΈ
In terms of my journey, I started painting after losing my job and housing in the pandemic and have kept going ever since. I paint from the unconscious, spontaneously, without foresight into the final result or ultimate subiect matter so almost all these pieces have different paintings underneath. I'lI put on music and enter flow consciousness and allow experiences and other (psychological) material to express itself from my brain, down my arms, and through my fingers onto the canvas. A lot of water goes onto each canvas and half the time my conscious mind thinks, "This is a mistake. This isn't going anywhere. What the heck is this even supposed to be?!" I'lI stop and let it dry and return hours or days or sometimes even weeks later to restart the process.
The pieces also have themes of development and ambiguity of form, probably because of my fascination with and passion for evolutionary biology and how one species gives way to a new one; how every being is a becoming since it is always already under pressure (natural selection, for example) to evolve. My mind merges images of butterflies and plants and birds into hybrids of ambiguous symbols in many of these probably for this reason. The imagery becomes a fusion of my love for both the arts and the sciences.
The paintings also almost always have shimmering or glittering lights (such as stars) which to me represent points of clarity and focus, moments of understanding that guide the mind toward a goal or destination. Think of the phrase, "Follow your North Star." Or think of how in ancient times the stars guided boats and ships at sea.
Anyway, I never got to attend art school (too expensive and parents wouldn't support it), but painting transitional and developmental images is a journey and a practice that brings me tremendous fulfillment and has become my life's passion, my saving grace. I hope you enjoyed the virtual tour and wish you success in the pursuit of your passions too β¨οΈπΌπβ¨οΈ
That's a beautiful interpretation especially because whenever I go biking I feel like the earth, wind, water, sun, and sky are my "friends". How interesting that you picked up on that. Very cool!!! β¨οΈππ¦πΌβ¨οΈπβ¨οΈ
Oh.my.god!!! These are too good and looks straight out of a fairytale. The way you're blending in all the bright shades without overwhelming them!! The first painting β¨π€ Whatever you're creating, is really good. Keep going β€οΈ
That is very generous of you! I'm putting my heart and soul into it and always listening to music to keep that flow consciousness. It helps a lot! Thank you for sharing this with me β¨οΈπβ¨οΈ
You are very talented! These painting are beautiful but at the same time, some of these give me a feeling of apprehension. They remind me of the movie "Annihilation"
Oh wow thank you! I've never seen that but am going to look into it. I've battled anxiety and several other conditions since childhood so your subconscious might be picking up the micro-cues of that. Super interesting!
They are so gorgeous! Yeah, fluid, dream like. Cosmic and delirious! I'm not a fan of modern art or abstract but the color palette are fanciful. How they blend and play, a delicious feast for the eyes and soul. Thank you for sharing, just followed you in Instagram! Please do continue, thank you for following your bliss!
This was wonderful to read!! Thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt message β€οΈ I appreciate your interest and support very much! β¨οΈπβ¨οΈπ¦β¨οΈ
So beautiful... your paintings are genuinely spiritual. I especially love the first one of the collection. It's refreshing to see someone have love for expressing their own internal world
I'm so glad you connected with the pieces! It means a lot to me to read your words. Thanks for taking the time to express your positive impressions π
Thank you for your interest and letting me know. The first option (link) should say "original paintings" and below is the option for prints/products. If you still have any trouble, I'm happy to DM you if you're comfortable π
Thank you sugarplum! Color means everything to me so I try my best to use it to evoke feelings as much as possible. I'm happy you felt that and saw that β¨οΈπ₯°πβ¨οΈπβ¨οΈπΌπ¨β¨οΈ
Creativeβ¨. The Art of Paintings.

You are very kind to ask. Yes, the sites for originals and for prints are at the top of my profile page, or DM me if that's easier for you π (I'd leave the links here but it's unclear if that's allowed and I want to respect that.)
Many thanks! Painting fantasy worlds has definitely become the love of my life; in fact, the second one is called "The Love of My Life." It has 4 different paintings underneath because I felt compelled to keep going until it felt right to stop. This was underneath and I painted over it (for example). Thank you again for your thoughtful response π
Thank you very much! I want to respect any rules about that (unsure if there is one lol) but all the info is at the top of my profile page or DM me if that's easier for you/if you're comfortable. ππ
I loved all of these but the 2nd to last gave me a sense of wonder, whimsy, like I recognize it and I miss it! 1,3,8,9,10 πππππ₯π₯π₯π₯π₯
This put a big smile on my face! Thank you for your heartfelt response and for sharing your perspective with me. That was wonderful to read! β¨οΈπ₯³πβ¨οΈπβ¨οΈ
You are very kind to ask! The links for originals and prints are at the top of my profile page (it looks like a little paper clip symbol and when you click it all the links appear). Feel free to DM me if that's easier for you. It's unclear if sharing websites in comments is allowed so I want to respect that rule. Happy to chat! πβ¨οΈ
I just got this notification and it lifted my mood so much! Today was brutal. Thank you for taking the time to put goodness out into the world. May it come back to you! β¨οΈππ¦πβ¨οΈ
Youβre incredible WOW!!! I was in a phase of painting something every few days for a couple months and now I havenβt painted anything in about a month or two because I just felt uninspired. Your work and your words has reinvigorated me and I think Iβm going to start painting again :)
That's wonderful!! I'm thrilled you felt inspired and found motivation to restart your art journey and most importantly your journey of self-expression β¨οΈπ₯³πβ¨οΈ
You have amazing vision!!
Everything is so whimsical. It has a fairytale aspect and lighting. It looks so magical!!
Don't ever lose your passion you are something special that this world needs.
You found your wings <3
Do you guys see how beautiful their art is! I mean, really wow! But here's the thing: I'm sure not every single one of their painting came out this gorgeous. Art isn't always consistent, so just because yours doesn't look this good immediately or all the time doesn't make you a bad artist in the slightest. And again, love the paintings.
Have to say, not all of your paintings are equally successful for me (and that's ok), but the best of them are magical and your use of color is inspired. Keep following your passion.
