💘 For Valentine’s Day ~ An oldie but goodie from 15 years ago. Titled "Forever Yours", this #TaxidermySculpture was commissioned by a gentleman as a gift for his fiancé on her birthday. The entire exterior is rabbit skin, including the heads and faces. The fur is dyed and the bare skin is painted. This type of work was unprecedented at the time and my unorthodox use of taxidermy materials landed this sculpture in a few mags back in the day, including the feminist lifestyle magazine BUST in 2009. Garishly colored animals continue to be some of my favorite things to create and remain among my signature works. Another one will be moving from the sketchbook to the workbench soon so stay tuned ~
What does this painting mean to you? 🧐 To me “Artemis and Athena" portrays the coalescence of nature and its inhabitants, representing unity and commonality amongst so many different species on the planet. I wanted to show what we have in common and celebrate that. The artwork is a tribute to the inherent equilibrium that exists within the wild, and the love that brings us together. Embracing what we share in common will bring us all together in a serene yet dynamic way 💞

So this winter season, the time of togetherness, when we all get together to share joy and love I wanted to have “Artemis and Athena” be part of that time in your homes in a unique way. ❄💕 So stay tuned for more details and check my website on Dec 1st 😘

I won’t hold it against you if you’re thinking “that’s an abomination”. It is the embodiment of something abominable. But not for the reasons you might think. Scroll to my previous post and all questions will be answered.
Are you a fan of details? 🤔 I’m a sucker for patterns and swirls and florals oh mama! So whenever I get the chance I love to paint them, like I did here for my “Aries” painting. 🐏 I thought it would be fun to share this for #flashbackfriday 🥰
