Hark!
It's been too long between portraits, but parting is such sweet sorrow.
Here's a painting that's been brewing for a while, a vision of fair Verona, where love defies every trial.
Inspired by a desire to explore the themes of love, fate and identity, 'A Rose by Any Other Name' offers a whimsical twist on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. By introducing a muppet-style Romeo puppet into this scene, the painting invites us to reconsider the nature of connection, roles we sometimes play in our relationships and to interrogate the complexity of truly requited love.
This isn't your typical Romeo and Juliet scene. With its blend of classic literature and playful puppetry, this piece is guaranteed to turn heads and spark conversation.
