Augmented Original Paintings for Your Collection

I paint pieces IRL (in real life) with watercolor and inks.
Then I add an additional component: hand painting in VR using OpenBrush, and then implemented as AR with Snap Lens Studio.

The Collectors of these pieces are the sole owners of the AR activation code: gold-foiled and mounted below the analog painting so they can show off to friends.

Made with Estella magic ✨ Step into the immersion of how she intended this 2D painting to be felt. A triptych unified by an energetic energy.

Hand-painted watercolor and acrylic inks on wood. Scanned and reproduced as professional, high quality giclee prints (Thank you, Gango Printing Editions!) with rich black.

Then, painted in 3D with virtual reality OpenBrush, and attached to the print with Snap’s Lens Studio.

Each print comes with an activation, scannable code that works on any smart phone — no app needed. Stick the provided code on the frame, wall, back of the piece - whatever works best for you. ♥

Do you remember how you felt during the inauguration of January 2025?

I created this RESIST series to externalize the tension I felt – the friction between chaos and peace, the dismantling of progress.

Painting was my zen space and regrounded me in my values: I taped sections of the page to ensure the darkness wouldn’t spread, sectioned and contained. Then, with wild marks, I let the frustration channel out of me. After peeling back the tape, I painted scenes from nature that bring me peace. Nature is the best designer. She thrives with diversity, interwoven co-existence, and is holistically healing. Some days, there was more chaos, and some days had more peace.

Resistance can be as simple as addressing the inner battles within us. It can be a practice in ensuring our values are intact, and that we don't let their chaos win.
