This piece reminds me of the world. I used a pouring mix to create the colors and moved it around as I poured the colors, which allowed for them to connect with crossing lines and colors throughout it. It is more of a traditional piece but has tons of complexity when viewed up close. The world needs more love. I love the quote by Hafsat Abiola saying, “Take your light and take your love into the world as the only weapons that we need to make this world truly glorious, truly beautiful, and astonish all of life. This piece is framed and will be signed prior to shipping.
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.
This is one of my absolute favorite pieces! I originally painted a yellow background and then use a toilet plunger I found in my art studio to paint at least 10 layers of different colored circles all over it. I wanted to originally call it ‘The Plunge’. However when my childhood best friend Jessica came to visit me and saw it she said it looked like it was missing something. I had to agree. I therefore decided to paint a huge neon pink heart on top of it and then used hundreds of teen little hearts all over it, which added a ton of beautiful complexity to this gorgeous piece. I named it after my best friend Jessica and finished it by putting a final layer of acrylic resin on top of it to give it a glossy shine. It looks completely different under a black light, which I love. All of us are complex and I love how one piece can represent the complexity inside each of us. It is signed and framed in a white lacquer frame. It will be the highlight of any room and needs black lights to show the different looks.
