I painted this piece as a tribute to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Vermeer, a work I deeply admire. While my subject draws inspiration from the original, she brings a new spirit — free, powerful, and unapologetically unique.
Unlike Vermeer’s modest, white European girl, my figure is a Black woman who proudly embraces her heritage. Her bare shoulders and ethnic earring symbolize liberation and identity. The warm tones and tiled background amplify her feminine presence and quiet strength.
The prints are produced on gallery-wrapped canvas, stretched over an inner frame. They arrive mounted on a wooden frame and are ready to hang. It is also possible to order the paintings on a glass print if you contact us before the order

How To Choose The Right Artwork?
Matching the Space Design
Before anything else, pause for a moment and feel.
What does the painting awaken in you? Calm, joy, excitement, curiosity?
If it draws you in and invites reflection, that’s a wonderful beginning.
Every space has its own energy, and every painting carries its own presence.
For a living room, a warm and deep painting may be most fitting; for a bedroom, something calm and serene; and for an office, a piece that inspires or brings quiet reflection.
Placement of the Artwork
Decide where you would like to hang the artwork, a central wall, a hallway, or perhaps an intimate corner?
In large spaces, a single large painting or a series of works may be the right choice, while in smaller spaces a delicate piece or a light pair will fit beautifully.
The safest and most common way to place artwork is in the center with symmetry.
Artwork Size
Size matters!
A painting that is too small on a wide wall may ‘get lost,’ while one that is too large in a small space can feel overwhelming. A simple wall measurement in advance can save unnecessary hesitation.
A frame can give the artwork a visual boundary that connects it to the surrounding space.
You’re always welcome to consult with me about choosing the right frame to match your personal style.
Artwork Theme
What speaks to you?
Figures that tell a story? Landscapes that evoke a sense of freedom? Or abstracts that invite personal interpretation?
The style should reflect who you are, and the energy you wish to bring into your home.
Artwork Colors
Pay attention to the color palette of your home, the furniture, walls, and textiles.
A painting in similar tones will blend in harmoniously, while one with bolder colors can become a striking and impressive focal point.
