This piece was originally created with acrylic. I used the image of Brad Pitt from the movie Fight Club and changed the words to Love in his hand. This piece was a collaboration with my husband, who added the word ‘finish’ to it, since love is the ultimate finish and our friend Jonathan Kaplan who printed it onto a metal heart. I then added some sparkly gold embellishments to it, which add dimension. This piece is one of a kind and will be the highlight of any room.
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.
This piece was made using dozens of brightly colored roses to make a wreath around an image of Bianca Jagger. Multiples layers of acrylic paint were first used to paint over her prior to adding butterflies, one of my favorite turquoise necklaces shaped like a heart around her neck and other personal mementos that I placed around her and then added resin to make them 3D. The roses were arranged around her by color on a warm summer evening under candlelight prior to finalizing the piece with another layer of resin. This piece is complex and original. It is framed and signed on the back.
