Here's my little foxy-corn for tonight's Unicorn show opening in NY at Gristle Gallery.

The show was curated by the very talented Zoë Williams, and a portion of the proceeds will go to saola (real life unicorns of Laos and Vietnam!) conservation efforts.

This little baby foxy-corn is surrounded by poppies, which represent forgetfulness, oblivion and evanescent pleasure in Floriography, the Victorian era Language of Flowers.

I will also have the above two mini paintings, pins, and Häxa tank dresses available for purchase at the show, part of the proceeds also going to the saola! 

The show opens tonight at 7 and will be online as well in the coming days.

Here's my painting, "Wild Spirit" for Gristle Gallery's "Libertine" show, opening Saturday, July 18th in Brooklyn.

I was greatly inspired by the definition of a Libertine; a being unrestrained by moral, religious and sexual boundaries.  I wanted to portray such a being; a fearless spirit that exists outside of the realm of the more timid creatures.

I chose lisianthus flowers to place amongst them as their meaning in Floriography (the Victorian era language of flowers) is "showy".

Here's my painting for Gristle Gallery's "Secret World" show.

"The Decision" is a rather personal painting for me; the symbolism of the fox ghost beast having two heads deals with feeling two ways about something or someone; the feeling of being pulled in two directions at once and having to make a decision.  

And sometimes no decision is possible.

I'm honored to have my painting included alongside an incredible lineup of artists' work in this show which also marks the gallery's three year anniversary.

I wanted to include a gathering of as many of my favorite legendary and mythical beasts as I could in this painting, and they are: the ceryneian hind (the sacred, Greek deer of Artemis) , Huginn and Muninn (the Norse ravens of Odin; "Thought" and "Memory" or "Mind"), Fenrir (the Norse wolf who destroys Odin), a griffin (the legendary, powerful creature that was a mix of beast and bird), an English folklore white hare (said to be the form witches take at night to look for prey or the restless spirits of broken hearted maidens who haunt their unfaithful lovers), and Ratatoskr (the Norse squirrel who runs up and now the world tree to carry messages between the eagle and the worm).
