I’m S.H. Khan, an artist based in Sugar Land, Texas, where the vibrant landscapes and everyday wonders fuel my creativity. I refuse to box myself into one style or genre—I paint whatever sparks joy in the moment, from serene nature scenes to abstract explorations of the world around us. Always seeking fresh perspectives, I work primarily in oils and acrylics, with watercolor adding a playful fluidity to my repertoire.
As the artist behind Ellis Cole Jewelry, I handcraft pieces primarily in sterling silver, with select designs in gold and rose gold, featuring natural gemstones like turquoise, ruby, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. Inspired by nature, art, poetry, and fantasy, I infuse each piece with unique symbolism and individuality. From my small workshop, I create high-quality, meaningful jewelry with a personal touch, designed to resonate with those who value distinctive craftsmanship.
Since 2006, I’ve explored whispers of watercolor, bold impasto strokes, and textured layers that invite both sight and touch. My art is a language of color and texture—watercolor calm, impasto passion, mixed media wonder. Every brushstroke is a conversation with the heart, created to stir emotion, spark joy, and awaken memory. Each piece is an invitation to connect—original, meaningful, and always made with passion.
Enjoying the creative moment: Not knowing where my head or hands are going – is the pure essence of why you see – what you see in my images.
“The Abstract”, the non-representational is my true passion.
100% analog: Hand-held tools/methods with pencils, pens, acrylic ink.
My paintings are Acrylic Ink, not paint.
My goal for the audience: A visual curiosity that provides a pleasant distraction.

I paint big, colorful flowers. I am fascinated by the repetitive shapes, the colors, and the energy of plants and flowers. They are each so unique and different, almost as if they have little personalities. I love the big bold varieties of sunflowers and zinnias, as well as exotic tropicals like hibiscus and bird of paradise. I could paint them for hours and never get tired of it. I keep my garden chock-full of all these types so I get to live with them and study them. They are constantly making me smile and informing my work.
My art is uplifting and positive. There’s enough heavy negativity these days, so I’m doing my part to put positive energy back into the world. Color saves lives. It inspires us to think better, work smarter, and play more. My art is about beauty, color, and joy, and ultimately, it’s about hope.

I have a passion for upcycling old materials to create colorful and fun dimensional art. I use musical instruments, antique clocks, tennis rackets, and other materials to create abstract faces and characters.
Everything I make is an original piece. My letters and words are assembled using junk drawer and garage sale finds. My vinyl paintings use vintage records that evoke nostalgic feelings. My abstract landscapes are from travel photos, mostly from national parks. Follow my artwork on Instagram.
I create handmade pottery using mid-range stoneware. The surface of my work is decorated with silk-screened images, image transfer designs, and vintage decals. All of my work is food, dishwasher, and microwave safe.

Macro Splash: We create these singular shapes through the collision of water, cream, paint, or ink droplets. Their various shapes and colors depend on the temperature, viscosity, gravity, density, and volume of the liquids we use. We work with black acrylic or pan filled with liquid in order to reflect the splash. Due to the laws of physics, the end result is often the opposite of what you’d expect.
Mega Splash: Our mega splashes, often called “jelly fish”, because they look like a form of marine creatures, are carried out by propelling water mixed with inks or/and paint of different colors, using a compressor. These water sculptures flow in the air to 6 or 8 feet high. The different shapes are obtained by modifying pressure and the pipe of water supply, which allows breaking the original shape of the “jelly fish” into fairy tale flowers for example. Under pressure, the water extracts the dies which will color the water column. The crystal appearance and the magical transparency looks like the work of a glassblower.
Fluid Painting: In the pouring acrylic painting technique, the paint is not applied with a brush or palette knife, but rather use gravity to move the paint across a surface by tilting it. The results are unlike anything you can get with a brush. The fluid flows without any brush marks or texture. We take macro photography of this psychedelic paint while it still wet and alive by choosing the best swirls. Things always look so different once dry.
Our technique:
Our splash photographs reveal unique liquid sculptures, created by the collision of water, cream, paint, or ink droplets or by using gravity to move the paint across a surface by tilting it. These liquids in motion are frozen in time by a high-speed flash of light. Our art prints are created with a dye sublimation process on aluminum so the colors become a magical luminescence.
