"Taika"

from $50.00

"Taika," meaning "peace" in Lithuanian, is a tender expression of tranquility and celestial harmony, embodied by the only celestial star named in the Lacerta constellation. This artwork features a yellow-white rabbit, vivid and fully opaque, that stunningly reflects the intense hues of red, orange, and pink from the sky above, as well as the crimson of the earth on which it sits. Behind it, a serene blue moon casts a gentle glow, its color echoed in the rabbit’s eye as it calmly looks over its shoulder. This alignment between eye and moon suggests a mystical connection—perhaps both are formed from the same celestial essence? The scene is rich with texture and vibrant color, alive and pulsing, yet firmly anchored by the grounding presence of the turquoise moon, creating a visual metaphor for peace that is both dynamic and profound.

Welcome to the Luminous Thresholds Series

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole, into a realm where light dances with vibrant hues and shadows play with time. Here, evocative scenes invite contemplation and transcend ordinary boundaries.

My journey began at the fluffy tail end of 2022, nudged into action by my forever-love of rabbits. As I blended paint and passion, the rabbits multiplied, their presence unknowingly aligning with the “Year of the Rabbit.” Soon, a raven persisted in joining the ensemble, adding its own mysterious allure to the gathering.

This series is an unfolding adventure, a collection of auspicious moments captured on canvas, where each stroke is a step deeper into the unknown. The paintings and drawings, scattered like stars across my studio, are more than art—they are invitations to cross into thresholds of luminance, where the ordinary meets the extraordinary.

I haven’t a clue where these paths will lead us, but I am eager to explore them together.

They look like paintings:

In my creative journey alongside Rob Park, a master of photography and printmaking, we conjure pieces that transcend the ordinary boundaries of printed art. Our collaboration is a dance of spirit and skill, creating works that are not just made—they are symphonies of the unexpected, mesmerizing viewers into seeing beyond 'prints' to experience each piece as a profound work of art, as vibrant and soul-stirring as any painting or original masterpiece.

  • Craftsmanship: Printed with carbon pigment archival ink on 100% rag fine-art paper.

  • Texture and Touch: Experience a tactile, velvety texture so vivid, you can feel it with your eyes.

  • Personal Touch: Rob carefully deckles the edges of each artwork before I sign it.

Embark on a Journey: Wander through ethereal thresholds, stirring the whispers of spirit within. Each artwork, an invitation; each glance, a reverie.

In my studio shop, you are invited into a world where art meets personalization. Each creation offers a choice of four sizes, welcoming you to find the perfect fit for your sacred spaces, spirited gatherings or gifts.
