Peace And Love
This magical original piece has several 3D components including a wooden peace sign lacquered onto it. It has multiple layers underneath it, which gives it complexity. I used glow in the dark paint so that it really lights up when under a black light, giving a completely different look with different lighting. I used a card my aunt sent me to create the love letters, which adds a touch of sentiment to the piece as well. It represents love and peace, which we all crave. The woman was created after myself since I love wearing hats. The butterflies represent change and transformation, hope and positivity. I will sign it prior to shipping.

Guitar
My dad has always been one of my heroes. He is the reason I started creating art since he encouraged me to start creating it just months before he passed away from a long battle with cancer. He was a luthier and artist himself. Before he passed away he gave me the guitar that was used in this piece. It was an old Fender that he had shaved and colored. He called the guitar ‘The Clown Show’. I kept it for many years, not sure what to do with it. I finally came up with the idea to use it to make a piece of art. I first used record cover albums from many of his favorite bands to cover the canvas. I then cut out various lion heads to cover the neck and then used white roses from my garden and put them on it as well, as a symbol of my dad. I also added an ultrasound photo of my son Michael Jack since he was conceived about 6 months after my dad passed, and was in many ways a miracle. I then used acrylic resin to put it all together. When the resin dried I noticed that a tiny and perfect bee had landed on it, and was permanently stuck on the piece as well. I looked up the meaning of bees and they represent fertility and new life, which was so perfect. This piece will forever stay on my wall and is dedicated to my father.

Jimi
I made this special original piece on the evening of a bright yellow full moon, which is why the background is painted yellow. I added an image of Jimi Hendrix, one of dad’s favorite guitarists as the focal point and then used a brush to add color and dimension. Jimi Henrix once said, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.” This piece represents the power of love and is sure to be the focal point of any room.

Forever
Forever is the twin piece to Be Mine. It was also made with glow in the dark pink paint, that allow it to completely glow under blacklights giving it a completely different vibe with different lighting. Forever was made by first using acrylic paint on the background and then I added multiple layers of jewels, hearts and butterflies. The butterflies represent change and transformation, hope and positivity. This piece was made with love oozing from my heart. It is a reminder that love is the ultimate victory. As Meryl Streep said so poignantly, My own sense of well-being and purpose in the world. That comes from studying the world feelingly, with empathy in my work. It comes from staying alert and alive and involved in the lives of the people that I love and the people in the wider world who need my help. I agree. This piece will be signed prior to shipping.
