53 | The Veiled Banana | sheila Whittam | $850 | oils mixed media drawing materials and collage on cradled wood panel.
This abstract work explores the theme of beauty through lens of vulnerability. Created while looking after my ill husband-layered textures intentionally veil a deeply personal symbol of essential nourishment/potassium. A single, striking red punctuation anchors the core like a heartbeat, proving profound beauty lives in quietest action of devotion.
