Tree of Hearts, 2021
Mixed media on canvas, in acrylic box
30 x 30 x 3.75 in.
(76.2 x 76.2 x 9.5 cm)

Two people came in and out of each others lives for many years. The timing never seemed to be quite right, until one day, everything fell into place. At some point over the years, he gave her a Valentine’s card with the image of a tree full of hearts as leaves. She kept it and all these years later, now that they are married and starting a family, she wanted a piece that emulated that very special card.  This tree of hearts became a very important symbol of their love.

The tree and hearts are all hand painted and cut paper.

Stories like this are what make the bespoke art process so rewarding. You and your stories are what inspire me.
