About the Artist

Portrait of John Finnell in his studio

My name is John Finnell. I work under the name Sundry Sullen, creating collage and mixed media that focuses on emotion, transformation, and transcendence.

I also practice holistic medicine in Oceanside, California, working with physiological systems and pattern-based approaches to health.
