These pieces may be petite, but they hold entire worlds within their frames. The first shrine celebrates the humble bee and its honeycomb—a golden emblem of industry, sweetness, and community. The second features a scarab and two beetles, ancient symbols of rebirth and resilience, shimmering with mystery. The third honors the angry crow, its fierce independence and intelligence practically radiating from the piece. And the fourth? A death’s head moth, quietly commanding attention with its haunting beauty and dark grace. Each shrine was built on an upcycled vintage triptych sourced from Florence, Italy—because every new story deserves a foundation with history. These unique assemblages now reside at Ghost Gallery in Seattle, perfectly timed for the holiday season. Whether you’re seeking a gift for a fellow art lover or a talisman for your own space, these shrines are meant to be lived with, pondered over, and passed down. If you’d like to see more or ask about availability, reach out anytime. I’d love to share the details and stories behind each one. ghostgallery.org 600 Pine St, Suite 253 (inside Pacific Place shopping mall), Seattle, WA 98101 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458192007-XKYUGQ3NDW7BUJ1HVBVL/20251102_211741.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458183559-3ZXQT8B7WYZ6HFJQIGM9/20251102_211751.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458210706-GJGXE325N5CXG2YHHQ6F/20251102_211825.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458226873-0L180LXT2WS11Y8DBOSK/20251102_211932.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458235239-LNDD45F58LQZR1OHDNG6/20251102_212002.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458266663-X4DI10YSDRCEU07SNK2Y/20251102_212037.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1762458267812-2Y9YV4FFI3D6NBHO18G1/20251102_212054.png Latest News - Little Altars Everywhere https://mercurialmuseart.com/latest-news/blog-post-title-one-egaz5-e2nyk-wpstm monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f344a8670cec307f556ac3/1759449123252-6HKX5KKSE1AHP8CEZM1C/20250908_112001.jpg Latest News - Bee-lieve It or Not: New Work Takes Flight at Distinction Gallery - The Songbird Relic + The Bee Relic Two of my newest paintings are spreading their wings and buzzing off to a new home—for a while, at least. I’m honored to share that both will be on display at Distinction Gallery in Escondido, California for the next six months. One painting hums with the golden rhythm of a bee, layered with luminous gilding that catches light like honey in a comb. The other takes wing as a bird, poised between earth and sky, carrying a quiet lyricism in its feathers. Together, they create a dialogue of air and bloom, nectar and song—two muses in motion, each whispering its own story. A bee gathers, a bird scatters. One collects sweetness, the other carries seeds. Both remind us that even the smallest wings can shift the landscape.
