This original gouache painting is created directly on an antique 1920 British fishing-book lithograph of a lobster. Long seen as a symbol of regeneration, transformation, and strength, the lobster becomes the backdrop for a nude figure who mirrors those same qualities. She carries both sensitivity and armor — soft at her core, protective at the surface.

The painting measures 7 x 8 inches. This painting is paired with a blue striped mat as a subtle nod to the sea and set in an antiqued fluted silver frame. Final dimensions are 14 × 15 inches. This piece arrives framed and ready to hang.
