Plastic Pumpkin is the creatively named etsy shop from artist Ren Adams. Ren works in a variety of media such as acrylic, oil pastel and collage but it's his beautiful Chinese brush paintings that stand out in particular. As a Taoist Ren states that his paintings form part of his daily meditation and reflects his spiritual pathway. "If I'm not drawing, painting, or otherwise expressing myself (however badly), I'm not in harmony with everything around me."

"Art is a sensation, a sense of humor, a sense of elation, a tantalizing window... it's pure energy, pure thought, and pure darkness, and pure light. I explore themes, people, and places that intrigue me..."
You get a real sense of this when you enter his shop as his work is varied and exciting and he offers prints and ACEOs as well as original artworks so there is something for everyone. And if not you can always commission something! To find out a bit more about the artist himself visit his blog and his website where you can also find information on the classes he holds in at the University of New Mexico, Alberquerque. Shame I live the other side of the pond!
