Pele is a 20 1/2 by 2623 1/2 inch Giclee Print on Aluminum. The original painting has sold. This piece explores the energy and heat of the goddess of fire.

To achieve this effect, I worked through multiple layers of color and texture, ultimately producing a print on aluminum from the original. The process challenged me to capture the elemental power and warmth without relying on literal imagery, inviting the viewer into an abstract experience of fire’s presence.
