Petals is an artist based in New York City.

Paintings by Petals is an ongoing self-exploration of my subconscious rendered through lines and color drawn onto a digital canvas, resulting in depictions of fantastical abstract creatures, objects, and settings, all composed of various combinations of human-like biology, inorganic matter, and elements of the natural world. These visual artifacts of the latent psyche, whose company I find both exhilarating and comforting, seem to exist in an energetic state of playful re-generation. Released from the womb of the mind, the images seem to want to form clusters, find accomplices, and forge alliances as they emerge from the tip of the pen. All of it adds up to the truthful expression of my imagination, a vulnerable but potentially sublime endeavor.
