About Thaneeya's Whimsical Art

My whimsical art is a playful glimpse into my ideal world - a wondrous place filled with blooming flowers, exotic butterflies, groovy mushrooms, smiling suns and brilliant rainbows, all glowing with radiant colors and details. I enjoy creating whimsical art because it's naturally optimistic. Through color and composition I aim to create whimsical artwork that emanates joy, peace and wonder.

I create whimsical art using a variety of media: acrylics, colored pencils, graphite, watercolor, ink, markers and digital processes.
