Acrylic, ink, markers, collage, and cellophane on canvas
48 × 60 in.

Heartbeat combines painting and collage, with a central heart constructed from layered materials and covered in cellophane, creating a raised, almost sculptural surface. Gestural marks, fragmented lettering, and graphic symbols intersect with saturated fields of color, establishing a tension between the physical presence of the heart and the surrounding pictorial space.
