This work is a portrait of a beautiful female figure in a shimmering river surrounded by swan floats, magical tents, and candy mountains. The sky is filled with disco ball planets and glistening stars. The figure wears a rainbow crown on her head and a ring pop on her finger. The setting depicts a mystical world where the song “Big Rock Candy Mountain” meets the song “Shambhala” and she is the co-creator of this reality. The work contains many nostalgic images from childhood including plastic magnet letters and a reference to the game “Candyland”. The painting represents humanity's desire for peace, ease, and even a little magic through imagination and whimsical play.
