It's All Make Believe

This piece of art was made for an art exhibition at the infamous Montsalvat artists colony in the leafy Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia.

The theme for this show was 'Layers/Beneath the surface'.

As you can see I concentrated on the layers of Marilyn Monroe's divine ball gown and delved her deep beneath the surface to her own land of make believe on her best turtle mate. The title Make Believe came from my idea that Marilyn's life was mainly a make believe type of existence that came to a halt all too early for this strong woman warrior.

My work does tend to lean to the vintage times gone by and I have a real feeling of this whenever I create.

Please love my work if you choose to purchase this original piece and let Marilyn tell you a story each time you pass her on your wall.

Over the years, and from a very young age, I have accomplished a passion for creating beautiful artwork and collecting nostalgic objects that capture the essence of youth. My art is inspired by my own childhood memories, and I use my talent to create unique and personalized pieces for my clients.

I offer a wide range of art pieces, including personalized portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings. Each piece is created with great care and attention to detail, ensuring that it is truly unique and reflects the personality and symbolism of its owner.

One of the key benefits of working with me, and something that I hold dearly is the personalized service that I offer. I take the time to get to know each of my clients, learning about their childhood memories and experiences to create a piece of art that truly captures their essence.

I do this because not every childhood is the same, and every childhood story has its own unique learnings, moments, special people and joys.
