It would mean the world to me if you’d consider backing my project and you’ll receive an awesome reward! Click on the link for more details.

Kiri and Ali’s Pet Portraits (Kickstarter) 

The very first abstract oil painting I created as part of my Synesthesia series. Synesthesia is "...a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses.” (Browne and Watson, 2018). I used this condition in cooperation with listening to Jean-Luc Ponty’s West-African jazz album, Tchokola, to create this piece by allowing the colors and shapes I "saw" while listening to it to inspire each paint stroke. 

Mam'Mai

Monochrome acrylic painting using a photograph I took as reference. It exudes love and has a very Italian romance about it. The lily is the national flower of Italy and "Sposa Toscana" translates to "Tuscan Bride" in Italian. To me, Tuscany exemplifies the breathtaking beauty of the Italian country-side and is the perfect place to have a true Italian wedding adorned with beautiful Lillies.

Sposa Toscana

Large-scale charcoal drawing using a photograph I took as reference. These roses were photographed in my grandparents' front yard shortly after they passed. There is something lonely about the way they look, as if they exude the emptiness of the house, wishing for their owners to come back. 

The Longing Rose

Large-scale charcoal drawing using a photograph I took as reference. The stamens look very alien to me, almost like some kind of extraterrestrial claw that will reach out and snatch its prey.
