This Saturday, June 13th is the opening to "Fantastical Flora and Fauna" exhibit at
Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, California. This show features work by
Mall, Nicole Gustafsson,
Lorena Alvarez Gomez, and
Amelie Flechais.
I am a huge fan of each of these artists works and couldn't be more thrilled to be showing with them--especially with a nature-based theme that I love!
The show is free to attend and open from June 13th - June 27. Visit
www.gallerynucleus.com for more details on the exhibit.
Here are a few pieces and progress works featuring artwork of mine that will be in the show! I wish I could attend the show in person, but traveling just didn't work out this time.

I'll be posting all the images and more process pictures after the show is up!
(I get a lot of requests for tutorials, but my process pictures are the closest thing that I have to explaining my process. Someday I hope to do a video and more complete tutorial, but need the time and equipment to really set it up and do it right!)

these are so lovely. (esp love the cat gardeners) i'm so jealous of people who paint with gouache. i thought these were all digital colour to begin with it looks so flawless
This series is so stunning...I feel like I could just fall into each painting.
I've never worked with gouache before, and I'm curious about your backgrounds...do you do the pencil drawing first and then paint the background over it, or do you do a wash first and then put your pencil drawing on top of the wash?
