Resting Fish Face [portrait with goldfish]

Combining unrelated imagery into intriguing compositions with renewed meaning drives much of my work. This artwork invites the beholder to contemplate the complexity of human, and artistic, expression and observe their interpretations of emotion and symbolic associations. With that in mind, it’s also meant to serve as a light-hearted, joyful image that brings the viewer joy when they catch a glimpse of the woman with a goldfish swimming across her face in their home or office.
