Synapse by Lumi Forbes

Vibrant use of color and movement are often the first things observed in the art of Lumi Forbes. Self-taught, Lumi began using art in adulthood to untangle the twists of trauma and disability. They have a certain affinity for acrylics, alcohol ink, watercolor, and anything with fluidity and texture. Their expressive, intuitive style takes influences from nature, modern life, and a healthy dose of curiosity. They believe the key to life is finding one's own magic, and hope their pieces give the viewer a feeling of wonderment and introspection. Posca and acrylic on canvas panel9"×12"
