Collector’s Edition: Eight Original Watercolor Works, Reimagined and Hand-Embellished

This new collection is made up of eight 18x24 original watercolor paintings—each one built from some of my best-selling prints, but completely reworked into something more layered, more tactile, and more singular.

The starting point was familiar: images that already had a life of their own in print form, already circulating, already recognized. Instead of simply scaling them up, I treated them as raw material. Each piece was rebuilt by hand, allowing space for new details, shifts in composition, and subtle changes in narrative that make every painting distinct from its source.

What emerged is a group of works that are related, but not repetitive. They share a visual language, but each one pushes in its own direction—different emotional tones, altered focal points, new symbolic elements that didn’t exist in the original versions.

A defining layer of this collection is the hand-embellished glitter detailing. Rather than acting as decoration, the glitter functions almost like light within the paintings—highlighting certain areas, interrupting others, and adding a physical presence that changes depending on how the work is viewed. It’s intentionally uneven, never uniform, and always applied by hand, so no two surfaces behave the same way.

At this scale—18x24—the paintings hold enough space for detail without losing immediacy. They’re meant to feel like originals first, even if they originate from familiar imagery. The goal wasn’t to “upgrade” the prints, but to transform them into standalone collector pieces with their own internal logic and physical presence.

Together, the eight works form a small but intentional group: connected through origin, separated through execution. They sit in conversation with each other, but each one holds its own identity.

This collection is about translation—taking something widely seen and reworking it into something slower, more deliberate, and materially present. The kind of work that rewards closer looking, where the surface reveals more the longer you spend with it.
