Tis the Lunar Year of the Snake! This mixed media piece was created first by pen/ink, then digitally colored in Photoshop. The old Asian and Celtic knot designs were strong inspirations for this creation.

“Enduring Hope” is a skeletal homage to Mother Nature and is inspired by Tim Burton’s “Corpse Bride” and the upcoming Day of the Dead. In today’s pop culture, images of skeletons don’t hold the same horror and disdain as it has in the past and I wanted to explore that concept–where death is an integral part of life and there’s always beauty in the most mundane or misunderstood subjects. This piece was created with pen/ink and incorporates some of my photographic textures and backgrounds.
