Signed on the front.

'Heavenly Bodies' is a series of acrylic paintings on wood, adorned by gold flake details which illuminate when you walk by. Inviting viewers to look closer with gold details, the brush strokes and colour variations seen in closely will beckon a desire to find out more about her.
