✨ The Auction Is Open – 48 Hours Only ✨

Happy Auction Day 1 to us!

I’m so excited to officially open bidding for the first painting in this special two-part auction.

The HERO is a humorous yet earnest character who pursues her own enlightenment while also taking lots of opportunities to break out of the rigid path, say f*** it and explore, indulge and pursue her desires. Cakes, candies, studded mountain scapes and bursting clouds all make up the world the HERO lives in.
