FLAME DANCER - PAPER PRINT Leopard painting Painting him surrounded by bright

Painting him surrounded by bright flowers and a playful toucan allowed me to honor his gentle strength and the lasting impression he left on everyone who met him

when the smell of paint and coffee mixed with a thin ribbon of light across my studio

we aim for the sky

honesty and heart

FLAME DANCER - PAPER PRINT Leopard painting Painting him surrounded by bright"Flame Dancer" was inspired by a Cirque du Soleil moment that stayed with me, when a contortionists shimmering bodysuit moved like living fire under the lights.
