Thank you so much for commissioning this vinyl as well ! It was so fun to listen to your recommendations as inspiration for these pieces and dive into research about the history of this band.

Good luck with the rest of your tour,

𝗔𝗰𝗿𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀
These two are from a collection I made for an event in February, 2023. I believe that event was crucial to my growth and confidence as being an artist.

I have been having so much fun painting on old vinyl records! And finding new ways to represent myself with eye flowers.

Only about a week left to see my work up at Pizza Lucé in St. Paul, so scoot on over if you are in the area!

On display and for sale at pizza luce in St. Paul for the month of July! ✨Only 2 more weeks✨

This piece I started back in 2022 but just finished it recently. It has taken on a new shape and meaning for me in the time in between starting it and finishing it.

These three pieces, ʙᴜʀɢᴇᴏɴɪɴɢ, ᴛʜᴇ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴍʏꜱᴛᴇʀʏ ᴏꜰ ʟɪꜰᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ɴᴀꜱᴄᴇɴᴛ are all new and curated specifically around the theme of growth. They will be on display at pizza luce in St. Paul until the end of July!

All three of these incorporate found art that I gave a new meaning and life. This is a concept that I have been drawn to for a while and reappears in my art.
