BUILDING YDEN
ACRYLIC AND COLORED PENCIL ON SATIN
Simple, beautiful things regulate my brain. Insect wings, flying fish, feathered wings, orchids, the carnivorous sundew, sea creatures, cuttlefish, scales, iridescence, refraction, pearls, and a spiraled horn.
I love surrounding myself with beautiful things in everyday life, so why not paint it? This painting concept and form just fell in my lap. Originally I planned to cut the satin to make a more “workable” size but ended up using it all.
This imagery means the world to me.

I am cursed to constantly paint, draw, and replicate poppies. Nothing beats the true color of a live petal.
