"Fractured Realities And Dreams Brought To Light" tells the story of a female phoenix rising from the ashes. This painting is dedicated to Deanne Hastings. She was my best friend, muse, and the woman I loved. I remember creating this one after she broke her clavicle on one of her wild adventures. Tragically, Deanne disappeared in 2015 and has yet to be found. It is suspected that she was murdered but there has been no closure. Deanne always called me her "Wings" and is the reason I have them tattooed on my back. I just wish I could have there for her this last time when she really needed me most. I could sense the call was going to come, but it never did, and part of me knew why. I've always felt that I failed her by not being there that last time, though I wanted to be and would have been. I think one of the reasons I work so hard is because of Deanne. I always tried so hard to impress her and make her proud. The last time I saw her, she told me she was. I will forever do whatever I can to keep her spirit alive through my creations. She is now my "Wings" and my angel. I love you Deanne. Available as canvas prints, jewelry, leggings, hoodies, shirts, and custom blankets.
