in anticipation of spring, here is a curated collection of my artworks cataloged in a dual series: the "Floral Kaleidoscope" and "Gossamer Petals: A Floral Memoir". Both series invite viewers to delve deeper into the symbolic significance of flowers, prompting contemplation on personal experiences of renewal and metamorphosis, as we strive to harmonize with the rhythmic cycles of nature.

a mini anthology celebrating International Women's Day

From depictions of female equality to powerful representations of iconic figures like Frida Kahlo, my paintings aspire to amplify the voices of women throughout history and across cultures. Through the lens of feminism, these pieces aim to challenge societal norms, celebrate diversity, and inspire empowerment. With the intricate blend of mixed media, these paintings serve as a visual testament to the enduring struggle for gender parity and the boundless capabilities inherent in every woman.

Delving into the rich tapestry of Chinese culture, the symbolism of the peacock holds profound historical significance tracing back to the illustrious Ming Dynasty. It embodies ideals of divinity, beauty, power, and grace, with its resplendent tail, adorned with a hundred eyes, serving as a testament to its association with the revered goddess of compassion, Guan Yin. Furthermore, within the context of Chinese artistic tradition, the peacock emerges as a potent emblem, encapsulating the essence of culture and civilization in its majestic form.

With a crown of crest feathers constructed using 3D printing, the Peacock's presence is elevated by a neck embellished with delicate translucent sequins. The plumage, an amalgamation of eclectic works showcased at the prestigious New York Frieze art exhibition (2019), takes center stage, each feather showcasing a collage of artistic expressions and intricate details.

Watch the making of…

Perched upon a meticulously crafted lace branch, the peacock's regal silhouette casts a radiant glow against a backdrop adorned with fabric peonies. The harmonious dance between the blossoms and the peacock's vibrant aura evokes an atmosphere reminiscent of the intricate patterns found in chinoiserie wallpaper.

I was honored to be selected by Larry Stewart Custom Homes, a luxury housing developer based in Texas, for a commission based on one of my existing artwork entitled "The Storm".

As opposed to replicating the painting, I wanted to create something more personalized while keeping the original bright colors that the client was drawn to.

Through a series of correspondence with the client, I got a sense of her personality: a resilient woman that rose above each challenge. I was inspired to celebrate these insurmountable obstacles as represented by the ominous green storm clouds, often a precursor to hails and tornadoes.

The colors in the painting also captures the genesis of storm clouds: light under very tall thunder clouds appear blue, due to the scattering of water droplets within, and when illuminated with red light (from the sun), the blue clouds would appear green as postulated by Scott Bachmeier, Research Meteorologist. 

   I started working on The Storm Clouds using my signature colors of cobalt blue, aqua green, teal and dioxazine purple. After scanning the original Storm, I enhanced the green hues digitally and created cloud-like forms. 

Resting the canvas on an angle, I sprayed a mist of water at the top and edges to create the streams of rain. For the white cloud condensate around the storm clouds, I applied a "dusting" using light blue and white oil pastel. 

Upon presenting the draft, I was ecstatic that the client was pleased with the painting. The Storm Clouds now is on display at one of their recently finished luxury house in Colleyville. 

This has been an enriching experience for me personally and a significant advancement in my art career. I would like to thank my client for this tremendous opportunity.
