Orchid mini purse

2023, acrylic leather paint on leather.

My floral purse series was created as a result of the need to express how beautiful the contents of women's purses can be, detailed intentional and feminine. Each purse used was a vintage purse that was stained and now has been reclaimed through leather care and painting. Sustainability is an extremely important part of my art making process and I often use reclaimed materials. Giving things a new life feels unreal.
