Peacock Landscapes

Peacock Landscapes is a series of 10 paintings on Amate, Mexican Bark paper. Each work measures 16”(w) x 23”(h) and is painted with various water based paints and collaged with decorative papers using Jade  archival adhesive.

My creative desire is always to bring joy and beauty to the viewer and help release this happiness into the air we breathe. In many cultures, the peacock is a symbol of beauty, grace, new beginnings and spiritual awakenings.  The peacock is the national bird of India and peacock blue reflects the depth of the ocean. In Hinduism, peacocks are connected to Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune. All of these references are embodied in my peacocks.
