A little color, a lot of personality, and completely one of a kind. 🎨✨

This shadow box was designed to let the hand-painted plate take center stage, framed to highlight every bold brushstroke, playful detail, and splash of color.

Abstract. Fun. Cool. One of a kind.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Michael Cherepak has such a great artist statement!

“Each of us struggles to bloom, to be noticed in the world.

With floral imagery as the starting point, I use colorful strokes and forms that are an expression of a curious maker. Creating is for me an affirmational practice. The flowers have been an imagery source I can use to express the care I have for the people around me. Subject matter that can be joyful, romantic, loving. Flowers have all the associations that reflect the things I care about yet are broadly relatable.”

We enjoyed framing “Secret Crush” with Larson-Juhl and Tru Vue® 🌱💜
