In searching for the work of Suelyn Choo I ended up on her Instagram page. I really like this painting by her and wanted to share her process. Read a bit about what she said about her work.

Clear water holds no shadows

“Renewal is water, in

drought is our death,

we dissolve into dust and

are washed to the sea-“

excerpt from Yemoja: Mother of Waters by Olive Senior (Gardening in the Tropics)

Finished this painting over the course of the pandemic. And It finished in the inverse orientation funnily enough. Swipe for process pics.
