Art drawn from the thinking mind
Layered paintings and prints that map the brain's inner landscape — pattern recognition, memory loops, and the quiet hum of imagination made visible.
About the project
Lions Brain began as a series of ink studies of the lion's mane mushroom — a species linked to nerve-growth research — and evolved into a broader inquiry into cognition as visual subject. Each work starts with a scientific reference and ends somewhere more personal: a diagram turned portrait, a circuit become forest.
Works and process
The studio produces limited-edition risograph prints, original paintings on paper, and occasional artist books. Process notes published here document material choices, failures, and the slow decisions behind each piece. The work is available directly; no gallery markup.
Frequently asked questions
- What is lion's mane mushroom's connection to brain health?
- Lion's mane contains hericenones and erinacines, compounds studied for potential nerve-growth factor stimulation in preclinical research.
- Are the prints edition-numbered?
- Yes. Every print is hand-numbered and signed in a limited run of 30 unless noted otherwise on the listing.
- Do you ship internationally?
- Yes, prints ship worldwide in flat mailers with tracking. Original works ship in rigid tube packaging with insurance.
