"Juicy Fruit," 12" x 12"

Mixed-Media on wood panel (Acrylic and Collage).

“The background collage is my first dive into a little nostalgia. I used old gum wrappers to create the base and did an overlay in vibrant pyrrole red. I just love how the yellow of the wrappers pop and it automatically brings you back to your childhood.”
