DETAIL of :::ZAPOTEC:::
ZAPOTEC is part of my TOTEMS collection. This piece is directly inspired by my visits to Mexican Archaeological Museums throughout Mexico. In particular, the headpieces and neckpieces of the figurine artifacts. The dream to create a painting collection of TOTEMS was brewing for some years until I finally brought these psychedelic beauties to life in this ongoing collection.
13” x 40” Acrylic on Wood
:::AJANTA and ELLORA:::
These are the smallest pieces of my TOTEM collection.
12” x 24” Acrylic on wood.
Named after the two Hindu, Jain and Buddhist cave East from Mumbai, India. I had the fortune to visit the caves and monuments in 2008, and the profoundly magical experiences there have stayed strong in my heart. They are phenomenal temples of art and crystals, carved into the rocks. I was on a motorcycle and tattoo journey with a dear adventure friend, DREW -whose tattoo is amongst my all time favorite pieces, most psychedelic and is pictured in my TATTOO collection- we spent many hours tattooing his leg beside these temples.

:::MY GOA:::
MY GOA is the first piece of my TOTEMS collection. Goa, India holds, perhaps, the most sacred place-of all places- in my heart. Having spent the best part of 10 full 6 month winter seasons in Goa, I transformed, expanded, discovered, experienced some of the absolute best moments of my lifetime. Being part of a community of wild creators, Indian culture, freedom revolution, love and gypsy life. I miss it like a part of my heart was left behind, and this painting is - just one -tiny expression of my passion, longing and beloved adoration for Goa.
These Parrots are some of Goa’s bird treasures. They leave their feathers as records of beauty all around the palm groves where they squalk and chatter. Their presence is pure joy to my heart.
