Life Is Sweet
This piece is printed on metal and I used an image of Kanye West in the background for this piece. I made it during his divorce and liked the juxtaposition of his stoic face and the “Life is Sweet” quote underneath. Kayne wrote, "Never was much of a romantic, /I could never take the intimacy. /And I know I did damage, /'Cause the look in your eyes is killing me, /I guess you've got another advantage /'Cause you could blame me for everything. /And I don't know how I'm a manage, /If one day you just up and leave.” The piece looks the best under a black light since the heart and quote completely glow in neon green paint. I used sugar on his face to make it glisten before completing it with a final coat of acrylic resin.

Lady Butterfly
This was one of the first pieces I ever made and was finished in 2020. I used an image of Marilyn Monroe, one of my favorite muses as the primary image in the background and then used acrylic paint to layer it with various colors. I painted it during the time my father was losing his battle with cancer, which was obviously a difficult period in my life. I used my hands to paint handprints all over it and wanted her to look like she was coming out of the painting. Marilyn once said, “Sometimes things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.” This piece represents how struggle creates strength. When you see a caterpillar struggling to break free from its cocoon, wiggling and shaking, one would be tempted to help it by cutting it out. What I learned is that if you cut it out, it would not have the strength to become a butterfly since the struggle is part of the metamorphosis where it eventually becomes a butterfly. This is a vibrant piece with so much soul. It is framed and will be signed prior to shipping.

Full Moon Love
I made this beautiful original piece on the evening of a bright yellow full moon, which is why the background is painted yellow. I used sparkly Christmas decorations to make the 3D heart in the center. The heart looks almost like lace from the side and looks different depending on the light. It represents love, forgiveness and was created at a time of heightened emotion and passion. This piece was created as a symbol of good luck, life, eternity and love. This piece is sure to brighten any room and would look amazing over a bed.
