Lost in time, standing tall. The Colosseum, a breathtaking masterpiece that whispers stories of ancient glory. Marveling at its grandeur, I can’t help but be captivated by the echoes of history that resonate within its ancient walls. Rome, where the past and present intertwine, leaves me in awe.

Did you know that the Colosseum was originally named the Flavian Amphitheater? Around the 64 A.D. (give it take), there stood a colossal bronze statue of Emperor Nero next to the amphitheater that was commissioned by the Emperor himself. Standing at 30-35 meters tall, it commanded the attention of all of Rome. It is believed that the Colosseum’s name is derived from the statue of Nero the Romans called Colossus.

We had an incredible weekend at the Gold Coast Art Fair, and could not have asked for better weather or a better experience. Thank you so much for all of your support and wonderful words of encouragement - I am over the moon with the whole venture, and the fact that we met so many people from all over the world was just amazing. I made a lot of new friends, and you all have made me feel pretty special, and I appreciate all of you.

If you missed this one, have no fear! You can come to see me at the Evanston Art Fest 8/19-8/21, the Bucktown Art Fest 8/27-8/28, or the Lakeview East Art Fest 9/10-9/11.
Stay tuned for more info and many more photos of my latest work!
