We often have the habit of hearing something or seeing something and then believing that we understand what we just witnessed. This latter sentiment is not always the case.
Thoughts, ideas, concepts, philosophies - simple, great, complicated, deep: they all present challenges to our faculties of perception. We struggle to understand one another, often without considering these challenges though they are certainly there. We also struggle to communicate those things to others, and sometimes even to ourselves.
Trying to get back into drawing and figured mushrooms would be a fun and non-intimidating subject to explore. So many varieties and a lot of opportunities to stylize them!
Digital Art Portrait | Black Women
This digital artwork has been meticulously crafted using industry-standard tools such as Autodesk Sketch and Photoshop. It beautifully showcases the cultural richness and diversity of the black community.

The form of Martial Arts introduced by Bruce Lee embraces `being formless’ as a central idea. Sharing this belief, my works do not start with an intention of what to make, but rather the process is to follow-through to what the works wish to become. In Jeet Kun To, the practice is to `be water’, to react and to blend. Instead of following the artist’s desire to direct the brush, I enhance, without an intention to change or render. The composition dropped from elsewhere as a message and is polished to shine.
Ink on ultra white background highlighted in blue. Inspired by the challenges in life and compartmentalization of each challenge to better manage them all.
Ink, watercolor markers, paper. 2023. Sometimes I need to let myself create from my unconscious and not stick to some planned approach. The markers were a gift from my children and I really have been enjoying them!
This was a gift for a special colleague who had already worked at my school for more than 20 years. I painted her with gouache and especially her blond hair gave me a headache. I‘ve never worked with this paint before. In the background I used special paper, charcoal and acrylic markers. Inside the card is a poem about her.
The Fawn Stencil henna design for your feet displays an intricate and whimsical landscape along the inside of your foot. This makes henna designs for your feet a breeze to apply. #hennastencil #hennatattoo #hennadesign #henna
Bold and beautiful, the Dahlia flower represents dignity and stability. It is a flower fit for a queen, so of course we styled our lace glove henna design to be as vibrant and lavish as the Dahlia. #hennastencil #hennatattoo #hennadesign #henna
One day, in the afternoon she was sitting on that seat with a thin heart. She was feeling watercolor with full brightness hitting her soul slowly. In her heart said, "what was I do? Everything is very simple, just follow the truth about my life. But, I can't do it and back anymore".
