About the Artist

While most days your humble artist Eric D. Hatchell is of a peaceful manifestation, from time to time he will embrace his more wrathful side, and identifies well with the Mongolian War God depicted here...

Artistic temperament as it may be a cross between the lines of rational and irrational thought, (some might say "divine madness") often requires one to equally welcome both the white guardian angels of creation, as well as the more so dark, fallen angels of ruin. Similarly, the notion of blending the seemingly opposite faiths associated with Angels and Mystics to some might seem amiss, but upon further inspection of this particular exhibit, one may look past any sense of incongruity, instead experiencing the greater meaning of the collection it truly represents, as it is in fact, a celebration of the feminine divine.

Angels & Mystics is another in a series of exhibits from Wordmarque Design.

Some 25 years ago Mr. Hatchell founded Wordmarque as a creative agency, providing graphic arts and photography to Washington, DC based clients. His philosophy was threefold... Wordmarque solves complex problems with targeted solutions. Wordmarque provides quality design, on time, in a professional manner. And most of all, Wordmarque will always devote itself to supporting ideas that deliver positive change to the world.

Special Exhibit by Rinzin Dorji Kunza

Bhutanese artist Rinzin Dorji Kunza is motivated by a feeling that spirituality is more important than religion, and that every man must go to "heaven" in his own way.

Rinzin was born in the eastern part of Bhutan (Tashiyangtse) but finished schooling in the western region of his country. Rinzin's passion for the arts was alive and well since his childhood and he has participated in many national and international competitions. Along the way he discovered the artistic potential of computer design, and adopted his traditional skills to the world of digital art.

Fueled by advances in vector rendering and illustration, Rinzin is now as much as a graphic artist, as he is a skilled fine artisan. While commercial art is now his mainstay, he also makes time to be a loving father of one daughter, who is presently 8 years old. When he is not freelancing as a designer, his love for his country keeps him occupied during the high months as a licensed professional tourist guide.

For this exhibit, Rinzin Dorji Kunza joins hands with Eric D. Hatchell and optimistically invites all persons of all faiths and social backgrounds to span the globe and visit with us, as we share our artwork with hopes of delivering joint contributions, which represent the positive purpose of generating a common spirituality, throughout the world.
