Table Study
Always a fan of maximalism, I took one look at my end table and thought it would make a lovely digital painting study featuring my LEGO Space Shuttle. It’s always satisfying to pair traditional art ideas and practices with the whimsy of my own life and perspective.

I recently started designing three-dimensional watercolor pieces. The ‘puppets’ are protected with Dorland’s Wax. These three are on display at the Splendorporium, June through July, for their Rose City themed show.

Bloom Above the Waterline: Lotus Art Show
Lan Su Chinese Garden invites local artists to submit work for a group exhibition celebrating the lotus flower—蓮花 (lián huā)—as a powerful cultural, philosophical, and seasonal symbol. This exhibition will take place during peak summer bloom, when lotus flowers rise across the garden, mirroring the living subject of the show itself.
We are seeking 2D artworks only that offer a unique interpretation of the lotus and its layered meanings.
Learn more about the exhibition and submit your work here.
Deadline for applications is Saturday, June 20 at midnight.
