“Foolishly, I chose the roses over the acorn”, , mounted to wood panel, varnished in acrylic, and then put in this sick Victorian frame.
I promised the boy I used to babysit we’d buy a stuffed animal when I sold the painting becuase he didn’t want to pop into the antique store for five minutes so I could run back and buy this frame after thinking about it allllllll weekend 😅 but the piece never got purchased! Lol I think he forgot by now though so it’s okay!
When I’m on the road, I am often asked where the text from my paintings come from. People think they’re pop culture quotes, but they’re never quoting anything! All of the text in my paintings comes from my brain. My work is so personal, it wouldn’t feel right to paint someone else’s words into it. I also really like the use to text in my work, I know not everyone does. But I think it gives the viewer a direction for their brain to move to. If someone feels they can personally relate, I take it as a huge win! My paintings are my journals, after all. Why not add some text?
I’m surprised this piece has yet to find a home! If interested, contact Gallery ERGO, or stop by in Seattle and see it in person!! The frame is wired to hang but it can also sit on a shelf 🤓
Also, speaking of Seattle, come see me at Oddities & Curiosities Expo October 24th+25th!! I’m so exited to meet y’all!!
Now I’m done with my caption so scroll to see some progress videos as well as pics from the night of the photoshoot 🥀👁️🔪✨
