This piece was turned into portrait street art by using a collage-style layering technique. This is a hand-signed piece with a certificate of authenticity. "This subject's eyes alone tell so many stories, almost as if you can see straight into his soul. When I met him to do this shoot, we hung out, had a few drinks at his favorite bar and just shot on the patio to make it feel as natural as possible. When I am shooting, I don’t really think about what the art will look like. My main goal is to get an image that captures who he is as a person. Once I have that, then I let the art form from the image."

She was once quoted, "Most of the time I am like “welp, don’t like the way that looks” and don’t care if I mess up, so then I do something and I like it and then I’m like “ I love this piece,”" as each piece shifts and changes throughout the process.
