The largest piece yet in my Eye of the Beholder series; this one’s pushing me more than usual. Most works in the series take around 3 sessions, but this might need up to 6 to fully bring it to life.

Fresh from the studio desk, my new Certificate of Authenticity envelopes are ready! I sealed each of the 100 with my custom wax logos, so they’ll last me for years to come. I’ve also added fresh photos of my work to my website. 🌟 TerraLeoneArtist.com #coloradoartist #COA #waxseals #supportartists

I had all the paintings, and stained glass I completed this year professionally photographed today. It feels good to take this step after the whirlwind of my 3-month artist residency that wrapped up earlier this month. 🖼️✨

I’m finally home after an incredible 3 month Fine Art Residency at the Stifel Center in West Virginia.
During my time there, I designed an animated End Card specifically for the residency, it’s time for a new one.
