What if the strongest among us elevated others instead of surpassing them? What could our world look like? Using my animals to paint out some big feelings and difficult thoughts.
Painting of a leopard seal in the water (head above the water) with a baby emperor penguin riding on the seals head. The baby penguin is wearing a yellow cape. There are fireflies in the painting, one hear the seals nose and another near the penguins beak. There are a few more fireflies lighting up the background.

A little bit about me for the new folks! I’m a NYC (Queens) based artist. Most of what I post is my art or my art business. This pigeon painting is the work of art I’m most recognized for. A lot of my art is influenced by the nature and culture of NYC.

I put my heating pad down on my art bench a few months ago and haven’t been able to use it since. At least Finley is happy on these cold days!

The fundraiser for Pasadena Humane is still going strong! Just over $500 raised and donated so far. I am still selling the fundraiser prints until Friday the 24th. Proceeds will be donated dianateeterart.bigcartel.com/product/limi...
Hand of the artist holding a print in front of a stack of the same print. The print image is of an oil painted pigeon who is holding an upside down NYC deli coffee cup with a lit candle on the cup. The pigeon is wearing Timberland boots. The candle is the only light in the painting so it is very dramatically lit.

Another bird from #birbfest this one was so much fun to paint, I love when I can get a bunch of tiny details into a painting.
