About the Item
A carefully rendered bumblebee, delicate patterns, and a small crescent moon are perfectly balanced in this intricately detailed mandala drawing entirely hand-drawn using only pencil on paper.
Framed in an off-white wooden frame with UV plexiglas, 10.25 x 10.25 inches (unframed), 12 x 12 inches (framed). Signed and titled on the back of the frame.
Japanese-born artist Michiyo Ihara uses only paper and pencil to create artwork that expresses the complexity of the universe. Beginning at the center of the white paper, she makes her first mark. Building outward with amazing skill and intricacy, she rotates the paper to continue the drawing. Each tiny symbol, sometimes animal, plant or planet, exists within a cell-like membrane. One little universe begets another as they grow outward in a beautiful, imperfect near symmetry. Ihara begins each drawing title with the word snowflake to reference the infinite and unique possibilities of creation.
The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

By Jenny Brown
Located in Boston, MA
Celestial Mirabelle, Original Contemporary Abstract Nautical Mixed Media Work, 2018
11" x 8.5" (HxW) Collage and Pen on Paper
With clear inspiration from natural botanicals and oceanic life, artist Jenny Brown combines found imagery and her own mark making to create delicate yet bold designs. This work features an nature-inspired creature taking shape from a combination of colorful paper ephemera on a soft lilac colored piece of paper. Fine white lines and small white dots emerge and scatter around the composition, bringing the work to life.
Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed.
Artist Commentary:
A curious bouquet, blossoming in a lavender nebula. This piece was created using antique collage and pen on paper.
About the Artist:
Jenny Brown is a visual artist living and working in Providence, Rhode Island, whose primary mediums are drawing, collage, and works on paper. Her work brings to life a mythical world of sea creatures and celestial beings, realized through her love of paper ephemera. Jenny studied art at Bennington College and received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 2005. In addition to working with galleries in New York, Providence, and metro Boston, Jenny has collaborated with brands such as Hudson-Chatham Winery, Sheaffer Pens...

Evening Moon Fruit, Original Contemporary Abstract Nautical Mixed Media Work
By Jenny Brown
Located in Boston, MA
Evening Moon Fruit, Original Contemporary Abstract Nautical Mixed Media Work, 2018
11" x 8.5" (HxW) Collage and Pen on Paper
With clear inspiration from natural botanicals and oceanic life, artist Jenny Brown combines found imagery and her own mark making to create delicate yet bold designs. This work features an nature-inspired creature taking shape from a combination of paper ephemera on a charcoal colored piece of paper. Fine white lines and small dots in white, purple, and pink emerge and scatter around the composition, bringing the work to life, like glittering stars in the night sky.
Artist Commentary:
Evening Moon Fruit is a burst of color in the night sky, perhaps the light of another galaxy or interstellar nebula? Existing between constellations and planets, lush with roses and pink apples, this work is inspired by our dreamscapes and fascination with science fiction. Original is comprised of pen, ink, acrylic paint, & antique collage clippings.
