I painted this piece live at Fulton Market, so imagine if you will sitting down to a lovely group dinner and there is an artist painting a large piece with an eye catching pattern. Imagine approaching this artist and her painting and seeing a very thin red outline of letters spelling out the word "REJECTION" in all caps. That's what happened more than a few times when I was working on this. In a hasty effort to explain, I asked them to be a little patient. My work is about positivity, self-reflection and spreading unconditional love. Most people were hesitant to trust me, and I couldn't blame them. Then over the thin outline of the word "REJECTION" I painted in huge, bold black letters the word "REJECT", also in all caps. The message is "Reject Rejection". Accept acceptance. Love yourself. I love you, no matter who you are. #RejectRejection
