  12. About the art process behind my book covers…and a question...

    I began abstract painting around 2015–2016 after many years of realistic pen and ink sketching connected to my architectural work. Over time, colour, geometry, and nature shifted my practice toward abstraction.

    In 2022, I gave an artist talk at the Lundt‑Glover Gallery in Chatham, NJ, hosted by the Art League of the Chathams, where I discussed my work at the time, including digital developments in NFTs and my decision not to pursue that direction.

    Later that year, I began the 27‑painting series that my current ecofiction trilogy covers are based on, using four panels from that show as the starting point for the newer work.

    Three good things:
    1. Making art.
    2. Sharing art.
    3. Selling art to pay for more art supplies!!!

    Watch the full 38‑minute talk here: youtu.be/X400L4JI-LQ

    The piece shown, Wellness, was part of the solo show and later became the cover for our ASEI Arts international charity anthology, Anthology House Vol. 2, created to benefit UNICEF.

    A question for my art and book lover peeps here: when you think about art and the art of book covers, what lights you up, what inspires you, and what are you drawn to reach out for?

  13. RE: writing.exchange/@hiisikoloart

    My Ko-fi supporters (one time or monthly) can also get 5% OFF from all of my shop items with a very special code. <3

    ko-fi.com/hiisikolo_art/link/B

    So if you don't yet need a cover, but might want to buy one later you can follow my Ko-fi now, drop me a brain cell, and later use the code to buy a cover, or some other art piece you like!
