Lindsay Rapp Liang is a gifted artist whose passion for art was discovered at a very young age. Being the daughter of a recreational surfer she also inherited his love of water. She sees the ocean as life-giving, fertile, powerful, sensual, changing and mysterious.

When creating her beautiful artwork, Liang seeks inspiration from water’s glimmering interaction with light. She has even found a unique technique to imitate the effects of water’s refractive nature.

“Using rare precious materials such as genuine metallic seashells, dichroic, 24k gold, silver, and using layers of translucent, reflective plexiglass. “The harmony of these elements combined with the dichotomy of my muses’ power and softness reflects my interpretation of the sea in relation to femininity,” the artist said on her personal website.

Now she owns her gallery and shares images of her paintings on Instagram, where she has attracted more than 319,000 admirers. Scroll down and have a look at her beautiful artworks below.

Elizabethan Mermaid 🧜🏻‍♀️ One of my all time favorites especially in how I painted her hair ✨ It was one of the best feelings while painting, because it flowed so wild & free. However beneath, I layered & repainted many times. At one point I had the background completely purple, and another time completely gold. Which in the end, ended up enhancing & creating texture when I finally turned the background blue. When going into new paintings, I often find myself afraid of making mistakes or failing. Looking at this painting reminds me, Don’t be afraid of mistakes, they add dimension & beauty to our successes. Can’t find success unless willing to fail. The way to success is paved with failures. This is an especially helpful reminder for me going into the new year with new goals. 🙏I hope this helps inspire you too. ✨the model for this painting was my dear friend @countedgar —she has amazing hair, gorgeous features, an intellectual drive that won’t quit, and an incredibly artful eye. I’ll never forget how in college when I was basically living in my art studio working, she brought me food & clothes & encouragement to help me keep going in my artwork. ❤️ ✨#art #portraitpainting #inspire #love
