Well I am stunned and honored to share that my painting “Voyager Of The Willowverse” has been awarded the Grand Prize in Infected By Art vol. 13! Wow!.. Thank you to the judges for feeling this painting is deserved of such an award. It means so much to me. ❤️ Congrats to all the other artists too!

Oil painting, a voyager of an innerverse called the Willowverse, where the voyage is the journey within and the empowerment felt from digging deep, overcoming, standing with strength as well as humility, walking with wonder, facing all that’s there.

So it begins… Yet another attempt at trying to find refuge from the pitfalls of Instagram. Maybe one of these alternatives will actually work out. Who knows…it could even be this one🤷‍♀️ Anyway…here’s a skull I painted a little while ago.

Do demons and angels count as birds? I mean, at least one of these lays eggs, right?

Pinned post per proper peopling perception. •I craft intricate ink drawings of mythological and macabre subjects to pay homage to both the exquisite beauty and profound depths of the human experience, where the lines between wonder and darkness converge.•

What a thing of beauty and mystery this is. Like a soft dark shaman materializing from the ether. And I always love the words he includes with his posts. ToobzMuir is amazing. Definitely give him a follow!

“Shadow Seer” oil on panel, 8x8” 🖤 a self perhaps yet still unknown, a reflection of our unfamiliar beckons for us to enter, to do the work of listening, to vanish many times over into something felt and known, accepted and loved 🖤✨
