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.

Jagger Wreath
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.

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.
