Hi there I'm Kiri, I make iridescent colorful things mostly by hand & my digital art is made by my human brain. I'd love to hear about your hobbies. Just know that if you bring up gardening you've committed at least an hour of your time to a conversation w/ me. And I think that's a wonderful thing.

There is a pastel purple polymer clay trinket dish towards the top and the background images are colorful abstract patterns that were made with mixed media including pens, paint, and a printer

Yes it really is that luminous! What would you do w/ this handcrafted Aurora Film? Video & details at the shop link in my profile. #crafts #papercraft #artjournaling #origami #junkjournal #scrapbooking #art #journal #mixedmedia #cardmaking #colorful #multichrome #colorshift #glitter #iridescent
Colorful graphic layout featuring a radiant sparkly colorshifting textured craft film that shifts from tones of fuschia, lavender, blue, and teal. The material also has gold sparkles and a crinkly paper texture. There is a clear glass dip pen at the bottom of the layout which is diffracting light onto the film. The material itself borders an image of a hand holding three sheets of the material over a wood background. The text in the center reads: kiritheory.com

"Sea of Suns"
This calm yet colorful original mixed media art adds a curious radiance to its environment. Self framing on luminous panel & ready to hang. Video & details at the link in my profile. #artsky #abstract #art #paintings #painting #handpainted #originalart #abstractart #colorful #humanart
Colorful abstract painting on a beige wall above a wood shelf. The painting features fluid organic shapes in dark purple, orange, and teal on an iridescent luminous panel. The artwork format is horizontal and the edges of the panel are covered in highly textured thick purple paint which forms an intriguing frame. The shelf below is holding a few neutral objects such as a brass oil can, a vase of lavender, and driftwood.

How this color glows on purple backgrounds! Fire & Ice Opal is a supershifter #paint w/ rainbow flashes & a fiery glow. If you apply a domed droplet, it will look like the most #colorful #opal you can imagine when it dries 🌈 Find it thru my profile 😊 #art #painting #handpainted #acrylicpainting

Remember when killer bees were one of our biggest concerns?

I miss those days.

"Garden Party" starts out as bright green when applied thick, then thins out with water or acrylic medium into sparkling blue violet shimmer w/ chromatic flakes when applied over dark substrates. Find it at the link in my bio 🎨

Some whiplash curves inspired by #artnouveau & Cirque du Soleil. Still working on it, probably gonna add more colors. Rendered w/ Pentart Sparkle Pop gel pen. #originalart #craftsky #drawing #abstractart #colorful #art #ink #abstract #artjournaling #journal #sketchbook
Angled view of thumb on left holding an abstract, non-objective design in a sketchbook. The drawing is on grey mid tone paper and features organic, curvilinear forms rendered with a bright blue to purple colorshifting gel pen.

Revel in the space between dreams and reality. Learn about the meaning of this painting through the link in my bio #spaceart #painting #mixedmedia #glitterart #cosmos #expressionistart #pompomart #celestial #originalart #art #nostalgia #dopaminedecor #originalart #SciArt
Perspective image of a colorful abstract expressionist style acrylic chunky textured painting. The art background is pastel purple with a multicolored glitter overlay. The focus is on a raised bright orange crescent and dots, encrusted with a teardrop shaped sparkling iridescent gem and other heavily textured glitter & micro beads. The crescent surrounds a pool of matte blue glimmer with a sparkly violet colorshift. There are neon lime, gold, and bright plum colored accents throughout the artwork. The mixed media art is framed with fuzzy pom poms in bright shades of teal, green, orange, and purple. It is sitting on a blue holographic backdrop.

Any #monarchbutterfly #conservationists who might help me understand/fix this odd behavior? I have 1 sizable milkweed & 1 small start. Big plant infested w/spider mites. Small is not. @ 5 #caterpillars on both not eating leaves at all. They are eating flower buds and chewing through the stems 🌱
A black, yellow and white monarch larvae in the center chewing on a milkweed plant stem. Orange flower buds near the caterpillar. Green leaves and blurry fence panels in background. Side view of a yellow, black, and white monarch butterfly caterpillar chewing on a milkweed flower bud. Orange flowers and buds shown in top right and lower left corners.

"Painting in the Dark" This #art explores & destroys fear of the #celestial void by throwing sparkling cheerful elements at the darkness. Something happy & unexpected emerges to show how radiant we can make the #universe when we take a chance to look at things the way we did as children. #mixedmedia
