A Forever Morning

Forgotten

"Forgotten" is an oil piece, formed at the thought of a forgotten childhood, and the purity of a child's soul, with their innocent eye towards living and happiness. This piece is an attempt from the artist, to regain that innocence and live life through magic again.
Her
For Sale - Contact Seller
"Her" is the original oil piece that started this collection: Enthralled. This was a composition the artist started painting with her eyes closed, using two brushes, one in each hand, and just started touching brush to canvas with the thought of nature and the beauty of women in mind. Once the artist felt like she could open her eyes to the painting, did she finish the piece.

Let Her Run
SOLD
at $7600 USD
"Let Her Run" is an oil and metallic pigment piece. A feeling of entrapment, why? Just because of gender, and just because of race? This is an escape piece, exploring the capabilities of what a person can do, when no longer confined by the restraints of society, yet also the creation a person formulates, whilst held under these constraints.
Moments
For Sale - Contact Seller
"Moments" is a collage of four different oil paintings, forming one large intertwining landscape. The concept was fragmented memories of the artist's past lover, and the disorientation of capitalism on a female's body, forming a discomfort within what should be beautiful, and transposing this into a forced commodity.

Laced By None
For Sale - Contact Seller
"Laced By None" is an oil piece, depicting a woman with no ethnicity. To live in a world that finds any source of medium to discriminate against, is an inhumane one, and so, a woman laced with no ethnicity, is a woman that you cannot find a way to hate. She is fictional, but she is the dream.

Whole
For Sale - Contact Seller
“Whole” is an oil piece, depicting laceration and bruising, to which the whole entity of the human race experience, whether emotional, physical or both alike.

The artist brings out a piece that at first looks beautiful, but at second glance, has a grotesque flavour. Her question is why does a person only seem to have substance, if they have suffered? And why is it, that every person has, in fact, suffered?

Wonder
For Sale - Contact Seller
