After 2 decades working in media, I'm leaving to enroll in an MFA. I'm proud of the career, but the burnout became real. This #oilpainting evokes feeling dried up, yet looking forward. 'Dessicant', #oiloncanvas, 8x8 inches #art #fineart #figurativeart #model #surrealism #contemporaryart #realism

The girls are fighting, aren't they? What a week. This #painting is 'Year of the Rooster', 28x48 inches, oil on canvas. The rooster is my #chinese #zodiac sign. #Roosters are brave, observant, and talented. In the wrong circumstances they can tend towards self-righteousness. #art #oilpainting

"Like Fighting Water", oil on wood panel. #Betta #fish are known for their confrontational nature and aggressive displays of beauty. Even in situations that seem pointless, I like to think that asserting confidence with unapologetic style can boost inner strength. #art #oilpainting #asianart

"Genesis" 9" x 12" watercolor on paper I also like painting with watercolors. Just getting my feet wet. I like the ethereal feel to this painting.

There's a "Botanicals" group show coming up at Cactus Gallery in Los Angeles. "Froggy's Garden" is my painting for the show. If you've never checked out Cactus here's a link: cactusgalleryla.com #art #fineart #paintingoncanvas #poisonplants #poisondartfrog #mushrooms #botanicals

"Froggy's Garden" 14x11 inches, acrylic on canvas. Yellow poison dart frog sits atop a poisonous mushroom in his garden of dangerous mushrooms, deadly nightshade and poison ivy. I'd stay out if I were you.

A bit different style... "Omen of the Sundog", #gouache #paint and #ink on #paper. A #Sundog occurs when the sunlight refracts through ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Historically, they are seen as a sign of change: an omen of good or bad luck. Contemplating interesting times... #art

Various shade of lavender florets, in a close up view. Ranging from pink through deeper purple, this lavender’s beauty shines through.

Here's an old painting of mine called "Greed". I stumbled across it recently and thought that it sums up the atmosphere around here pretty well.I was going to paint over it but ended up hanging it up instead.I feel like a fortune teller. #painting #acrylics #art #fantasy #dystopia

Another view of the #Dettah ice road, connecting #Yellowknife to Dettah. Ice roads are sometimes the only way goods can be transported to areas in the #NorthwestTerritories Definitely need some grippy tires to drive across this frozen lake! Look how beautiful the blues in the ice are....!

Looking into the abyss! Standing on the ice road that connects #Yellowknife to #Dettah (a #FirstNations community) in the #NorthwestTerritories. The ice is estimated to be 4-6 feet thick in places. Trucks drive daily over the ice from December to April. The clarity of the ice patterns is unreal!

Happy #Portfolioday! I'm an oil painter, although sometimes I use different mediums. I draw from imagery growing up as part of the Asian diaspora and now as an adult whose job has taken me all over the world. I believe in a humanity that is multi-layered and multi-cultural. lumlingart.com/ #art

Despite my 2025 resolution not to get sucked into the chaos, I'm still doom-scrolling. Self-inflicted harm dominates the news lately, so this oil painting reflected my feelings. Themes of betrayal and violence between little creatures that should be closely related allies, yet tragically cannot be.

This painting is in memory of my little void cat, who passed away at 12 years old. We rescued her as a kitten from the Bronx streets. She hated the outdoors and preferred indoor sunbeams. She loved salmon sushi and would cry to be picked up. "I Still Miss You, Baby", oil on canvas #oilpainting

"Pilgrimage" (private collection). This one is from a couple of years back. As we continue forward in our lives, it's good to stop and remember where we came from. All of us are immigrants, in one way or another. #traditionalart #acrylicpainting #newcontemporary #animalart

This is the view from Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island. Imagine drinking your coffee and watching this. Thank you to Connie Lacy for permission to base this on her photo overlooking the Salish Sea. In oils.

A fantastic sunrise view on Vancouver Island. The sea is purple and blue and dark forested hills are seen on the horizon. Above the trees, though, the sky is aflame with yellows, oranges, reds pinks and blues.
