If you're in Ferndale, MI this weekend for Funky Ferndale and the DIY Street Fair, check out @meganlui.art's booth in front of the Library Bookstore (next to Java Hutt, across the street from Rust Belt Market)! She has original paintings plus framed and unframed prints and they're all gorgeous! #art
A framed print of an abstract painting called "Off The Grid," featuring colorful patterns and textures. A red orange sun is in the upper right hand corner. Painted paper cranes are flying across the canvas. A framed print called "What The Mirror Holds." It's an abstract painting with lines, squares and textures that are mirrored horizontally with flying paper cranes painted. An abstract painting called "Memory In Bloom" that has flowers and lily pads painted over different patterns and textures with turquoise, brown, and purple hues. An abstract portrait painting called "Synchronize" of a person with a purple tint whose right eye is covered with a blossoming flower. There are multiple patterns and textures throughout the painting with diamond shapes.

It took over 20 years to make this.

A collage of a black and white photograph of a person sitting on a bench surrounded by purple and pink flowers. The flowers are in color but heavily desaturated to help blend in with the rest of the image.

I painted a mural! This is in the Detroit PD Third Precinct Breakroom. Cops love flowers.

Been dealing with a lot of hurt and loss in my life in the last several months. My art is changing in subject and tone, which is helping me heal because it's exciting to see your art grow. But also, it just hurts.

Have a nice day ❤️

Mini paintings available in time for art fair season. I love these little 6x6 buddies, they can go on the wall as they are wired but also stand up on their own. Perfect bookshelf decor. Each is a one of a kind with origami paper wrapped sides.

"Unburden"

I'll be releasing this painting and a few other portraits on the Art Clvb app this weekend. I have not focused on portrait work in awhile, what do you think? More portraits, yes or no?

sure, cats love to try to walk on wet paint/ink, but digital artwork is not immune to their chaos. they also love to walk across my keyboard and disappear toolbars and panels in photoshop that I have to google extensively on how to recover.

"Cannonball"

Start of a new series, Happy Little Fools. I wanted to explore making an abstract without any representation... And then I drew some silly stick figures. I think this piece reflects a yearning for simplicity and the delight of ignorance.

Should roll with this idea?
