check her out, make her yours 24”x36”, acrylic on a cradled wood panel with 1-1/2” profile (no pressing need to frame), $3000 to the first asking nicely, includes s&h inside the contiguous US. Painting will arrive ready to hang. Hawaiian, Alaskan and Canadian shipping available at additional cost. Heliocentric can ship mid April 2026. Heliocentric is named for Copernicus’ cosmological theory, as this Bear believes herself to be the center of the universe. My initial concept was a girl-with-pearl-earring sort of Bear, filled with flowers. I added sunflowers, and they were super fun but also very demanding - their faces competed with Bear.

check her out, make her yours 12x12, acrylic on panel, private collection (thank you so much). I don’t often take on commissions, but this one ticked all the boxes for me.

Available work is always listed on my website - I have acrylic paintings , oil paintings ( animal centric and sky and floral ) and smaller works on paper. I am so grateful for your interest in my art. Thank you so...
