Full-color realism fruit & veggie sleeve - finally complete for my dear friend Jessica!! 🍒🍓🍇🍋🍌🍅🫐
Jess came to me after having no luck finding someone to take on this project. Everyone told her it was too complicated, too much to work with, or just not realistic to achieve. Together, we worked endlessly to design a piece that fit her vision perfectly - while also honoring not only the meaning behind it, but also the artist who originally helped her start it - who passed away.
I’ve been at a loss for words at how to caption this post for so long that I ended up forgetting the post entirely. 😅 Because how can you begin to capture the essence of such a special piece and all that’s cumulated during 2+ years of work????
All I can say is that this piece is truly one of my greatest accomplishments. It is everything I have known and learned all tied together - fine art, still life, natural found beauty, etc.
It has been such a profound honor to work with Jess - who I can confidently say is now one of my greatest friends & inspirations. I will forever cherish the time we’ve spent together - thank GOD we’re planning another project otherwise I would be devastated lol.
Jess, I can’t thank you enough for your trust in me with such a piece. It has been truly an honor. ❤️ Love you & can’t wait to have you back in again soon!!!
