“Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes”  ― The Beatles

I’m proud to share my latest creation, "Lucy," the opening piece in my Faces and Facades series. This work is a celebration of the powerful dialogue between people and the places they inhabit. Through bold shapes and vibrant colors, I’ve sought to reveal how a face can emerge from and become part of the structures around it.

The contrast between the abstract, angular portrait and the serene, realistic sky is a reflection on how our inner worlds connect with the outer environment.  With "Lucy," I hope to inspire you to recognize the beauty in both individuality and the shared communities that shape our lives.

This piece continues my exploration of “Faces and Facades”, a series of hand-embellished prints, where people and places mingle in whispered tension, and where each element holds a quiet enigma, waiting to be uncovered. Here the ordinary folds into the mystical, and the architectural becomes a vessel for unseen narratives, all named after characters from songs by The Beatles.

The image is printed on museum quality archival paper and highlighted with acrylic paint and ink. It is then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and framed in a black wood floater frame.
