Sometimes life is just a big old mish mash. Sometimes that’s good. Sometimes…not so good. But it’s good to remember that occasionally weird combinations just work. Like this jellyfish butterfly hybrid that looks like a creature, but also kind of like an iceberg.

There is always more underneath the surface of everything. And it’s all beautiful, and worthy of light.

This artwork has been lovingly made using handmade, traditionally marbled paper, acrylic skins and collage elements, and layered with tiny detail over the top using acrylic paint and ink. All layers have been sealed using archival mediums.

This piece has been sealed with UV-Resistant varnish to perfectly protect the art for years to come.
