Be Brave Be Strong Be Fearless, 20" x 20"

Mixed-Media on Canvas (Acrylic, Comics, and Resin).

“The inspiration for this painting was a deck of cards I purchased in Las Vegas. The entire deck was dedicated to Spiderman and I used the cards as the collage background for this piece. The vibrant red overlay with the words Be Brave, Be Strong, Be Fearless relates to this superhero as well as to anyone who needs to be reminded of these strengths. It is uplifting, positive, and inspiring.”
