“Work Hard, Play Hard”

Acrylic Paint and fur, on canvas

36” x 48”

This was the largest media project I had tackled at the time, and I was fascinated by the challenge of playing with scale. For this commissioned piece for Elite Contractors LLC, I wanted to merge my personal style with a construction theme. Drawing inspiration from Betsy Johnson’s early magazine illustrations, known for their exaggerated, whimsical fashion, I aimed to make the painting feel both fun and couture, while still aligning with the client’s vision.
