"Trippy Mermaid"

Plexiglass print of original acrylic on canvas.

30" x 40"

This trippy exhaling mermaid was originally a large acrylic on canvas. I painted a woman looking up in relief, her legs folded underneath herself in a sitting position on a mattress. My photographer friend, Geoffrey, took a high-res image of the painting and used digital tools to manipulate the edges of the image and created the agate affect of the beautiful trippy exhaling mermaid figure you see here.

BEHIND THE PAINTBRUSH

I am a curious + creative person, actively seeking to make the world a more interesting place-one idea at a time.

I'm an artist, mom, triathlete, and way over educated ex-computer scientist and spend most of my time in crisis-mode. I live in St. Pete Beach (that's the short answer) and enjoy staying up late at night to paint in bad lighting, only to see how daylight brings it to life in the morning.

Most of the painting work is black/white, because I like the mystery it creates and how it forces the viewer to decide what the true colors would be otherwise.

I enjoy bringing out sensual and provocative emotions in my artwork and hopes that viewers can connect their own feelings to what they see on the canvas.

My graphic + web designs are more "mainstream", and I like how it allows me to connect to the spectrum of my creative brain. It brings me to my happy place, directly. Do not pass go.
