Audrey Rose

From the Pink Icons Series
Inspired by my love of classic cinema, this series pays tribute to the glamorous icons of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s—bold, beautiful, and unapologetically themselves.

Soft pinks and gilded textures surround Audrey's classic features, reminding us that true beauty radiates from within — gentle, poised, and unshakable strength. This painting celebrates not only the fashion icon, but the humanitarian and the woman who inspired generations to lead with kindness and authenticity.

My process involves collage, textured pasts, inks and gold foil for abstract background. Then charcoal, acrylics and finished off with oils for depth and gloss.
