Yhi

this painting is called "yhi" named after the australian aboriginal goddess worshipped by the karraur people. yhi is the goddess of light and creation. she slept in the dreamtime and created the world when she awoke and brought light into the universe.

Welcome To My Blog

hey everyone. welcome to my blog for my visual arts. the title for the blog comes from a lakota native american word that means "medicine." my art is inspired by australian aboriginal dreamtime paintings, zen brushstroke, political artists such as jean-michel basquiat, and abstract artists, such as wasily kandinsky. i paint mainly with acrylic on canvas, although i also work with collage and chinese ink. enjoy.
